After reading this I gave exe.dev a shot and the combination of cheap VMs, the HTTPS proxy with passkey auth and link sharing, and the built-in LLM agent is... incredible.

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.
