   Ruby has a lot of these hidden gems (pun intended). I wouldn't be as much in love with programming, if it wasn't for Ruby. And although I use many other programming languages these days, Ruby will forever have a special place in m

   What a phenomenal launch it has been! Thanks a lot to everyone, for the many ideas and feedback. It has really made me push harder to make qqqa even cooler. Since I launched it yesterday, I added a few new features - check out the latest ve

   That would be pretty cool for testing the waters, will give it a thought! How do you guys pay for this? I guess the potential for abuse is huge.

   Point taken. The files were really small, no need to exaggerate.

   Thanks. I guess it all depends on the perspective. I do not see how editing the command is a good tradeoff here in terms of complexity+UI. Once you get the command suggested by the LLM, you can quickly copy and modify it, before running it.

   I would like to add support, but I do not have a computer powerful enough to run an LLM fast enough, so I am not able to test. Is it possible to use an OpenAI-compatible API locally, or how does that work?

   Just learned something new! Will soon change how releases are delivered, fixing a few other issues I got reported.

   I can type qq faster than you can type ask. Even more so with qa vs please ;)

   I guess you are partially right. Still, this feels much unsolicited.

    This one is a bit tricky. The tool needs the output to process stuff after the AI returns results. And since the focus is on rather short interactions, this is an OK-ish tradeoff I believe. But I will give it a couple more thoughts, not say

    This a pretty neat approach, indeed. Having to use the API might be an inconvenience for some people indeed. I guess having the Claude or ChatGPT subscription and using it with the CLI tools is what makes developers stick with these tools,

    The net is vast and more often than not we miss the good things out there. A little anecdote: a few years ago I published an open source library that for many years would go completely underappreciated. For a few years I did not even check

    Thank you - appreciate it. I really tried to create something simple, that solve one problem really well.

    The readme clearly links to releases. I am not using GH releases, but that does not mean they are not there.

    And since when does publishing open source software require you to present any credentials at all? I am not hiding anything, I just published using my regular accounts - some of which I have been using for more than a decade.

    It is highly disturbing that you would go through my private profiles and nicknames to prove what? Ever heard of nicknames on the Internet? Ever heard a person can have multiple projects over the many years? I published an open source lib

    Darwin is the MacOS release - should make that clear - will update readme. Thanks.

    Thanks! It does not support chaining multiple tool calls - if it did, it would not be a lightweight assistant anymore, I guess. The history is there to allow referencing previous commands - but now that I think about it, it should clearly n

    I think it is more about what it doesn’t do. It is not a coding agent. It is a lightweight assistant, Unix style “Do One Thing and Do It Well”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy

    Compared to the llm tool, qqqa is as lightweight as it gets. In the Ruby world it would be Sinatra, not Rails. I have no interest in adding too many complex features. It is supposed to be fast and get out of your way. Different philosophies

    And of course, if you find any bugs or feature requests, report them via issues on Github.

    I find it amusing how few people can actually answer this question. The many downvotes are a testimony to this.

    Fun fact is: I heard Texans saying it only a few weeks back. Now I get what you meant ;)

    Probably, yes. This is possible in Sweden, if you go from South to North, you can travel for multiple days by car and if you avoid highways, you will not leave the forest at all.

    That sounds pretty cool. How many separate train connections did you have to book? Any problems with delays or canceled rides?

    This summer I took the ferry from Hirtshals, Denmark to Seydisfjordur, Iceland. 2 full days, over 48 hours of travel time. And back. Relatives and friends thought my wife and I were crazy - or at least eccentric. Why would you waste 4 full
