Just out of curiosity. I have no moral stance on it, if a tool works for you I’m definitely not judging anyone for using it. Do whatever you can to get your work done!

    I use it to speed up writing scripts on occasion, while attempting to abstract out any possibly confidential data.

    I’m still fairly sure it’s not allowed, however. But considering it would be easy to trace API calls and I haven’t been approached yet, I’m assuming no one really cares.

      i have used to to do simple shell scripts - like, “read a text file, parse out a semver, increment the minor version, set the last value to zero, write back out to the text file”. simple stuff that can be easily stated it’s pretty good at. mind you it was a bit wrong and i had to fix it, but it saved me googling commands and writing the script myself. I wouldn’t have bothered normally but i do that once every two weeks so it’s nice to just have a command to do it.
