What Hacker News says
2 sourceslooks like the task runner part [1] has unfortunate name overlap with the family of programs that include z.lua[2] or zoxide [3] or z.sh [4].
Not really that big of a deal, I just like tracking command line apps naming because it is an interesting exercise of being short, intuitive, and unique. When you decide a single letter is your name, surely you are going to run into this.
