So I'm falling more and more in love with the #terminal 😍. For a #Developer, that's a good thing right? 😉
I combined #javascript and #bash and came up with this one.
Check it out: github.com/WessCoby/qotm
#bash #javascript #100DaysOfCode #fortune #lolcat
In 2019 I tweeted about a little terminal quote tool I'd made.
The quote in that screenshot isn't Bill Gates. It's Charles J. Sykes, from his 1995 book Dumbing Down Our Kids, and the words had drifted too.
That CLI shipped 110 quotes with no sources. 7 had the wrong name.

What checking those 110 quotes turned up: wesscoby.com/blog/seven-out-…
How qotm works: dev.to/wesscoby/qotm-a-progr…
Know a quote that was never said by the person it's credited to? qotm.dev has a report button.
npm i -g qotm
qotm --source
No account, no network, no dependencies. The code and the dataset are open: github.com/qotm
So I rebuilt it around sources.
Every quote in qotm now has one, plus a public history: who submitted it, who checked it against the original, and any corrections.
Same quote, right name:

A minister went live on national television, visibly excited that he had finally found a “gotcha moment” against ordinary Ghanaians.
Why? Because a draft bill was published on the ministry’s official website, then quietly revised four different times through closed-door meetings without properly communicating any of those changes to the public.
After that, he confidently says:
“The old bill is dead. You people are online criticizing a dead bill. You don’t have the updated bill.” As if secrecy, poor communication, and public confusion are achievements.
You are pushing 15 digital bills that will affect millions of citizens, businesses, creators, and young people, yet the public engagement has been chaotic from the beginning. Instead of transparency, accountability, and respect, citizens are being mocked on live TV for reacting to the only version they were officially given access to.
Leadership is not a game of catching citizens off guard. If people are confused, the failure is in communication, not in the public asking questions. This is not it.
Ghana is failing us.
