pq VS LookupChatGPT

I wrote pq [1] (protobuf parser cli) at a company where I was told to "just use the tool another engineer wrote" which was in C++, in a really uncompileable/abandoned/unusable state

I wrote goat [2] (EBS disk attacher) at the same company on a solo project where I needed to create a "Kafka-cluster-IaC" recipe in Terraform and wanted us to be able to replace EC2 broker instances dynamically but preserve their data on the EBS volume

Reminds me of a tool an ex-coworker of mine wrote about 5 years ago. Check it out for inspiration maybe: https://github.com/sevagh/pq

I have a Makefile for a Rust project which binds the local repository to a Docker volume, builds it in the container using muslrust, and then does a chown to change the target directory back from root ownership to my own user.

All I had to do was 's/docker/podman/g' and remove the chown hack and it works fine: https://github.com/sevagh/pq/commit/6acf6d05a094ac2959567a9a...

It understands Dockerfiles and can pull images from Dockerhub.

A chrome extension to ask about selected text with a right click. https://github.com/SMUsamaShah/LookupChatGPT

A chrome extension to show processed video overlay on YouTube to highlight motion.

A script to show stories going up and down on HN front page. This one just took 1 prompt.

I have a chrome extension (https://github.com/SMUsamaShah/LookupChatGPT) where i just added in-place text replacement option. Write something, select it, right click and select your own prompt to refine the text your way.

https://github.com/SMUsamaShah/LookupChatGPT/ a chrome plugin to ask ChatGPT about selected text (fully customizable). Came out of need to understand random jargon.

I often use this on HN itself when I come across something I have no clue about. It gives me back enough info to understand the discussion.
