My command line data analysis tool is at a point where I'm ready to share it!
`freq` is a tool I wrote in Rust, intended to replace pipelines of `grep`, `sed`, `awk`, `sort`, `uniq -c`, and `sort -rn` to look at distributions of values in datasets.
I use it daily.

I can't shake this feeling that there is currently a massive opportunity for companies that want to bet on human intelligence over AI. Tons of skilled people are being laid off. I wish I had a business idea right now.

My superpower is that I know just enough about a lot of things to know that for everything I know about that there's someone who knows more, but most importantly I either know exactly who, or at least I know how to find them and learn from them.

Probably a 3? I don't think I have enough of a parasocial presence to be intimidating to strangers, and I'm pretty confident I am not intimidating to people who know me. How well am I calibrated?
quote this with how intimidating YOU think you are on a scale of 1 - 10 and let other ppl reply to it with how intimidating THEY think you are >:)

Are any @oxide.computer customers hiring? While I'm great at wrangling heterogenous hardware, I wouldn't mind playing on easy mode for a while... By which I mean solving actual business problems rather than fighting hardware.
