In Jarvis – A Personal Assistant for LinuxDo not mean to discourage but the commit messages drove me nuts: https://github.com/sukeesh/Jarvis/commits/master
Long time ago, i was using a similar thing called betty (Not sure if it is still working): https://github.com/pickhardt/betty
In Jarvis – A Personal Assistant for LinuxI really dislike writing comments like this one and I almost never do, but... this is terrible. It's an amateur project at best that's just a big if/else loop[1] with some very poorly coded[2][3][4] implementations of things.
I get that it might be a cool learning exercise, but if you're in the terminal already what is the value of typing "what time is it" instead of 'date' or "search for a string in file" instead of 'grep'?
