 K900 | You may be interested in https://github.com/snowfallorg/nixos-conf-editor | 13:58:12 |
| K900 | If you're looking for something that does a similar thing, but more correctly | 13:58:22 |
| K900 | There's also https://mynixos.com/ | 13:59:00 |
 @x12:matrix.org | That's exactly what I meant.
We can close the topic now 😆 | 14:00:08 |
 redbeardymcgee | Don't look to AI to solve problems for you. It will just make the problem worse. | 14:02:37 |
| redbeardymcgee | You have to be the expert who can fix every little mistake it makes, in order for AI to produce anything useful. By the time you work all those details out, you could have just written it better and faster yourself. | 14:03:28 |
| redbeardymcgee | AI pooping code out on your screen feels better than the feedback loop of reading & understanding documentation, but it's worse.

 Ihar Hrachyshka | no. just in the last week I generated 1) a benchmark for something in k8s world that used API I never touched before 2) a c++ app extracting all envvars from darwin process kernel api, one-shotted; I can't produce c++ code without much struggle. Both pieces of code were used and immediately thrown away. It didn't make it worse, I didn't need to be an expert. For (2), I later compared what it produced with the actual code in Lix tree for the same and it was very similar / not worse. | 14:06:59 |
| @x12:matrix.org | It seems to me that if I had started my first post by saying that I’m trying to make an app that helps new users get into NixOS—without even mentioning that I’m using AI for it—the discussion would have been completely different. Well, I’m not going to tell you what’s what or how to live your life. Thanks to AI, I’ve got a few working apps that help me make money and do my work in general—without spending time learning languages like Python, JS, and others. Thanks for the link with a ready-made app for creating configs. I asked what you thought about the app, you said it was pointless, and that’s where the discussion can end, because there’s no sense in arguing over trivial stuff xD. | 14:44:06 |
