@tris Gave me a deceptively simple yet effective piece of advice regarding #learning #programing with #ai #LLM:
“As long as YOU actually TYPE the code yourself, it’s ok.”
I’d argue that’s true for most #code you can copy not solely LLMs. But it forces things to pass through your mind, and that’s the crucial part.
Did I start actually doing that because my #nixos install had no clipboard manager? Yes. Yes, I did.
Did that took a fuck ton more time than to paste stuff, and was it annoying as hell? Yes it did, and yes it was.
Did I learn a shit ton about #nix and #linux in general, though? Absolutely, Yes again.
I’m now much more comfortable with the core utils than I ever was so far despite *kinda knowing* how it works for years.
Linux / nix also helps to teach you what’s ticking.
