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.

    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

    Nah it was a while back. IIRC there were multiple sources, but I don’t remember any of them 🙃

    Though, I don’t really remember the details either. Maybe it was OS specific? I know there was a dodgy FUSE implementation out there for macOS at some point, and Cryptomator mounts its local drive with FUSE. I use macOS and NixOS, so it coulda been that.
