To be completely honest, I didn't even think about ansible when creating this (probability because I haven't yet used it), I looked at pssh and clusterssh and just decided to build one myself.

Dude, your tool does so much than just run ssh commands. I just took a quick glance at your project, just wanted to know does this have support for vultr?

Haven't really used powershell for my tasks and I'm not as experienced as you are, but what you said sounds absolutely cool, I'll check it out

I did use asciinema for creating the demo, but since there is no support for it to play in markdown, I went ahead and created a gif using agg.

Haven't set a limit to how many connections are shown, once all the commands are executing, each result (success/failure) is shown at once. So if you connect to 1000 computers, your shell will be flooded with progress bars first and then the output.

Maybe I should set a limit or let the user set a limit to how many results should be shown once the process is completed. Showing m and n results from the start and end

Hey, I missed your comment earlier. And yes, I'd love to hear about those parameters and how they'd be useful

Are you still asking this question in an interview? I know a thing or two about sshing into servers, I think I'd be a good enough candidate

I know ansible or even custom shell scripts are way better and optimized for such use cases. However, I just wanted to show something I built that might be useful to someone.

Hey, yeah I admit i should've written the README myself, but I'm kinda lazy , so I let gpt handle both readme and the post. And I do know there are other tools way better than this and battle tested, but I just built this for fun and not to compete with any of them.

I was getting bored, this seemed like a cool project to work on outside of work, that's why. One of my colleagues found it useful for his needs, so I figured there might be other people who'd find this useful too.

As of now there is no way to take user input in transit, so either the user is required to have the privilege to execute the specified command or have passwordless sudo available.

And Yeah, now that you've mentioned it multiple shorter gifs would be better.
