I don't know why I waited so long to try it.

I wrangle a ton of raw and aggregate data locally every day. I've had a 10-year habit of massaging via unix CLI tools and pipes then moving to excel. I guess I didn't wanna write code. Funny thing is I love SQL.

But with `duckdb_cli` it's a game-changer. I'm truly truly impressed.

Have you, at any point, considered / used dgsh [0] or a similar tool? If so, how has been your experience with it?

Interesting. Never tried dgsh before, but yea it looks like my poor-man's CLI workflow for a lot of tasks
