This is a great tool! Thank you for sharing. Did a few queries and was impressed with the quality of response. I use GPT daily but could still see myself going with phind.com for the sources on the right and the what feel like longer form answers that what I get from GPT


Congrats @reducks! Looks like a slick CLI. I assume the CLI has been available prior to now, just behind closed source. Curious on what ended up being the deciding factor that helped bring it to full open source? Or maybe what had been holding the team back previously your team was able to overcome?

Love to see these types of developer tools in the open so great work!


Thanks! We've been shipping the CLI since early 2019 but had a few blockers along the way (alluded to in the blog post). We built the CLI on top of a lot of internal dependencies that were never going to be open-sourced, so we had to do a lot of creation and migration in order to have the CLI only rely on public dependencies (and in other cases, we went through the approval chain to release certain packages like `go-editor` and `go-ps1` into the open). Once we did that, once we cleaned up the codebase, and once we successfully pitched the business case for open-sourcing the tool, we were finally able to flip the switch. It's a small team so there was also always a prioritization question of working on open-sourcing vs. adding new features.

Excited for `snow` as well! ;)


This is very cool! Added to my list of stuff to play with next time I have some cycles


Interesting but to me the most appealing aspect of Face APIs is around detecting identity or emotions. I don’t care often if a face is present - but I want to know things ABOUT the face which this test didn’t even go into.


We have some really cool stuff in the works in this area right now. An entirely new and revamped Python worker. Send me a DM on Twitter and happy to help (@jeffhollan)


Sent you a message :)


In the serverless space - a few deciding factors we see people weigh (disclosure: Functions PM in Azure)- * Dev tooling. VS Code and Visual Studio 1st class tooling, including local debugging/breakpoints * Pricing. No API Gateway layer so these types of high load scenarios become significantly less expensive * Platform. Azure serverless is much more than just functions. Also serverless workflows (Logic Apps) and Events (Event Grid). Also enable multiple hosting models (serverless, dedicated, on-premises)
