Published version 0.1.0 of the (unofficial) Perplexity AI API client for Ruby yesterday.
Learned a good bit about the latest Ruby and Rubygem build standards while I was at it.
Already > 60 installs and 30 git clones. I wonder how much of those are bots or real people.
Feedback appreciated 💎🚀✨

It takes a multi-disciplinary team to architect and engineer the perfect solution; both viewpoints of the macro and the micro must be considered for the correct holistic approach to software development
An insight a friend sent me yesterday:

What do you think?

When you ask AI if the data format you wrote a library to convert 15 years ago is still viable and it includes your work in the references 🙈
