    • Don't harm others, unless to prevent them harming you or someone else, in this case it should be a response deemed appropriate by society (don't murder someone because they stole your wallet)
    • Don't take more from society than you give back
    • Don't mislead, cheat, misinform or otherwise lie to others
  • If you have a laptop and a desktop put it on the laptop fully rather than dual boot

    Until proton came out I kept dual booting but I always ended up booting into windows because I didn't know how to do x on Linux

    When I just wiped windows completely and put it on my laptop I distro hopped for a bit but never went back

    Ended up switching my PC over too after about 6 months and I no longer own any windows machines, nor feel the need to besides the odd firmware upgrade of a peripheral or something

  • You can think bigger than that, as an example from the other day, I got it to a Display implementation for all of my error types in rust, it generated nice user friendly error messages based on context and wrote all the boilerplate around displaying them

    Also got it to generate a function that generated a unique RGB colour from a user ID, did it first try and I could use it straight away

    Both those things would've taken me maybe 15 minutes by hand but I can generate and proofread them in seconds

    That said, I don't use copilot I use chatgpt, it's intentional when I use it not just being shoved in my face all the time which might help my opinion of it

  • Of course but presumably on occasion you do work in other languages? I work in all kinds of languages and so jumping between them it's pretty handy to bridge the gap

    I think you could definitely still get value out of generating simple stuff though, at least for me it really helps get projects done quickly without burning myself out

    For small one off scripts it makes them actually save more time than they take to write (for example colleague had to write the permissions of a bunch of files recursively into an excel doc, chatgpt did 90% of that I did 9 and he did 1 lol)

  • Sorry I meant nix-shell -p, I didn't read your original comment properly apparently

    It's definitely an option as op wants to run one script from the sounds of it, nix-shell not nix shell is perfect for that

    It's a bit needlessly confusing that there are two entirely separate commands with the same name and thought you were talking about the original one
