Yes, you can now order DoorDash from the command line

The company’s sign-up form for access to the new CLI tool includes a field asking developers what they would build, if allowed into the beta.

The launch has a bit of humor to it, as it recalls that old XKCD comic about programmers automating ridiculous tasks — like making a sandwich. In the comic, a programmer says “make me a sandwich,” and the other person responds, “What? Make it yourself,” so the programmer says “sudo make me a sandwich,” and the other person says “OK.” (It’s programming humor, okay?)

The attached video in the X post leans into the over-engineering angle, as it reads Slack, recalls memories, parses JSON, inspects menu structures, runs Python scripts, recovers from errors, and calculates totals, just to do something as simple as ordering three salads. As the task runs, the interface reads “Flibbertigibbeting,” making the whole thing even funnier.
