I have been using Nushell for quite a number of years. It provides a unified CLI interface on various Linux distros and Windows. The learning materials for Nushell is surprisingly scarce. There is an HTML book on their web site but I would like to read either a paper book or a PDF on my ebook reader. I suspect at certain point they probably will publish the book (and I will definitely get a copy!) but before that, I have to get my hands dirty and compile the PDF file out of the markdown files from their GitHub repo.
I have tried a few times in the past but there were alway some minor problems and I just did not have the time nor the patience to iron out all the tiny little problems. Today it suddently came to my mind that maybe this is exactly the kind of task for AI. So I fired up my OpenCode terminal, chose the free DeepSeek Flash model, and ask it to compile a PDF book using Quarto. In about an hour's trial and error (without my intervention at all), it produced a nicely formated PDF book of 329 pages!
I am amazed!
