  • Hah, I knew it would come to that

    but I think that’s the point of diminishing returns in terms of effort

    Not if you make another application to automatically split commits in that way... application which will need its own commits, it's never-ending

  • Actually I hadn't heard about nix develop, I came across Devbox pretty randomly

    So, after I saw it, I went to look into it more and found that it's like a sort of nix shell for who is used to NPM and the like and I immediately wanted to try it out, because it just sounded like less mental burden then learning yet another thing, which was devenv as far as I got, which I found through these Reddit and Hacker News discussions.
    So for now I feel right at ~\~~ home with it.
    In your experience, do you think using nix develop would slim things down without sacrificing too much comfort?

  • lmaoo, I can't believe someone actually did that and was serious about it.
    I'm already imagining commits piling up with comments like:

    • "add a newline"
    • "move function up"
    • "rename variable users to user_list"
    • "Revert previous commit"
    • "no John, it's user_list and that's it, don't you dare change it again"

    He wasn’t an exec for very long.

    Good riddance I guess

  • Finally got to it and I AM SO GIDDY RIGHT NOW!!!
    I looked at your files to know what I should have expected, then, since I'm on Silverblue, I followed this guide https://julianhofer.eu/blog/01-silverblue-nix/ coupled with with Home Manager's Flake manual and finished off with installing Devbox (through Home Manager, which isn't listed as one of the official installation options for some reason), made a Python environment with it and... it's all looking good!
    Declarative workflow, here I come 🤩 (and I can soon shelve all those rusty distroboxes that don't start anymore because Podman/Distrobox weirdnesses which have been all to frequent in my usage, yikes)

    Thanks again! I probably wouldn't have taken the plunge so soon without your comment
