I am not brand new - and I don't know what the heck the config is doing.
That is why I rely on documentation.
The "code is self-explanatory" is always an attempt to not have useful documentation and try to rationalise that problem away.
- hombre_fatal 7mo agoNothing about this changes with Nix nor AI agents. You can read documentation on an as-needed basis or to your heart's content. The point is that the majority of the day to day changes I make to my desktop environment aren't so critical that I need to do more than read an AI agent's proposed changes to my config and accept them when they look reasonable. And I don't think looking up the exact config options to NixOS' networking system does anything to increase my knowledge of the OS. It's just a triviality.
