it’s not stupid. i have pretty successfully done some NixOS work flying basically blind with an LLM guiding the way.
-
ask follow up questions. “can you show me in the docs where this is defined”, “why did you add this line here”, etc
-
you’re going to have to understand this config eventually. the LLM will start to get confused if you’re trying to squash a weird bug and you’re just chastising it. it will always tell you you’re right even when you aren’t.
-
document everything with comments and in git
-
Caddy is better :P
