I don’t really follow X, Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, etc. so I basically live under a rock. Sometimes I ask dumb questions to try to understand people a little better. Apologies if my questions inadvertently offend anyone. I mean no harm.
This is probably a dumb question, but I’m always out of the loop: What exactly did this guy (or kid? He looks like he could be in his teens) do to piss everyone off?
I try not to ask questions that could easily be Googled, but I’d rather not search for “big balls.”
I decided to try Cursor today (first time using any coding assistant) to refactor my sloppy NixOS config, and I’m really impressed to far. My config is so much cleaner and very well documented. It even has automated backups, a README.md, and CHANGELOG.md now!
The cost has been ~$20 so far (I’m still tinkering with it).
ETA: I also use Arch NixOS btw
Edit 2: I asked it “how might I streamline my deployments a little?” It wrote some nicely polished scripts that use deploy-rs, and wrote some nice documentation for it.
The script didn’t work on first run, so I added the console output to the context and asked “what went wrong here?” It debugged and fixed the script, and updated the docs.
I think this has been the most frictionless NixOS experience I’ve had so far
By verifying that they’re correct…? 🤔
