    I use:

    • DuckDuckGo
    • Neovim
    • rusty dusty IdeaPad
    • Arch NixOS btw

    I don’t read man pages but I read documentation.

    Am I also a psychopath?

      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

      Oh god no, ideapads. My dad has one and the metal parts hardly fit together after a year, the key travel is 1mm and the touchpad is practically useless.

        I like the key travel though. The touchpad does get fucked quite easily after some usage so I decided to just use keyboard-only. I’ve been using mine for 4 years now.

          If I had to use it daily, I would kill myself, but if you’re fine with it, enjoy it. Of course it can’t beat thinkpads and my Dell latitude 5290 (the new latitudes are pretty much the same (edit:as the ideapad) and part whitelist on tp-s).

      I would not say that. I use a very old 13" Dell XPS laptop. I use Code-Server and duckduckgo. I have be known to program on my 7 year old android tablet with a bluetooth keyboard. For the most part I look at docs for JS modules as I write mostly in Python with Flask and use JS for responsiveness. Before anyone suggests something else I have to interface with a VERY old database that I wrote a webservice into through C#. I do realize there are other ways but python is my comfort point and the amount of backend processing makes it easier to use a “real” language. For my purposes it is plenty fast.

        JS for responsiveness.

        You do web development or something? Aren’t you supposed to use media queries?
