How much is your time worth? “Free” is the cost of the licensing but you take on the role of IT now (in addition to whatever your role in operating the bar is now). If you’re comfortable with being the IT department (managing the infrastructure, applying updates, running and testing backups, watching security notices, troubleshooting when things go wrong, providing user help desk support) then maybe.

I’m comfortable with all of that - I’d still pay for the license if I were using it for a business.

Once you figure out how to do something on NixOS you don’t have to go through all the troubleshooting/learning over and over.

That’s how learning works.

I’ve had mostly “meh” experiences with llm code reviews. They’re great for catching typos and other small issues that people tend to be bad at seeing. But they tend to provide very little in meaningful assistance. They don’t do well with considering context.

But I’m a pretty experienced developer. If you’re learning it might help provide guidance on what is canonical for your language, or edge-cases of functions that you might not be aware of.

I consider them to be a first-pass “sanity check” at best, and take its suggestions with a grain of salt.

When you consider what truly defines a language in the modern world, only two criteria stand out:

1. Understandable — it must carry meaning for both humans and machines.
2. Generable — it must be producible by both humans and machines.

Well, this fails on both counts. That syntax is awful even for the trivial examples provided.

Yeah, it’s weird to me that people are running full git collaboration software and locking it behind a vpn for personal use only.

That was long before I even noticed how disgusting people many Rust programmers are.

His entire argument is rather undercut by his grandpa-level ranting about “discord” and the use of JavaScript on rust forums.

Did op know one of their options was to not post a stupid question?

Hey <your community here> - I would like to get into your hobby and have done literally no research about it - which is the best <thing> to get to start with?

<hundreds of contradictory and useless responses>

Does the dickish attitude come with the package or is it extra?

It’s free, just for you.

Your question was bad and you got bad answers. What did you expect?

Throw a dart, pick a distro. My God these “help me pick a distro” posts are irritating. You’re not special. Your usecase is not special. Distros are “similar but different”.

What do you use at work? Use that one.
