This looks brilliant, but...

Sending CLI input data, even just the root command, back to Fig is going to be a deal breaker for a lot of companies. Too high a risk :-/

If you don't need that data, don't collect it. I am sure it will lead to interesting analysis, but it will also leak a lot from companies who are unwilling to let that stuff leak.

Thanks for the advice! We have a telemetry opt-out which turns this off.

Currently, we would still send a daily ping so we can track retention, but after the feedback from HN, we'll turn this off as well.
