For me, the difference is that there is no way in hell that I want to give an AI assistant full access to configure my system live. With a declarative config, the only access it needs is to an isolated git repo.

- beepbooptheory 7mo agoThis whole thing has been about explicitly using LLM instead of learning nix. So sure, definitely agree with about the niceness of using nix in general if that is all you are saying, but also not sure what you are trying to argue for anymore.
- dml2135 7mo agoMy point is that nix is a big enabler for me to use AI to configure my system, because it provides a safer environment in which to do so.
- beepbooptheory 7mo agoVery cool!
