Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right.

cb

A leak-proof tee to the clipboard

This script is modeled after tee (see [man tee][2]) and works on Linux, macOS, Cygwin, WSL/WSL2

This project started as an answer to the StackOverflow question: [How can I copy the output of a command directly into my clipboard?][3]
