    Yeah my question is does this person and 40+ upvoters think using Hyprland is a sign someone is a competent software engineer?

      I use:

      • DuckDuckGo
      • Neovim
      • rusty dusty IdeaPad
      • Arch NixOS btw

      I don't read man pages but I read documentation.

      Am I also a psychopath?

      I decided to try Cursor today (first time using any coding assistant) to refactor my sloppy NixOS config, and I'm really impressed to far. My config is so much cleaner and very well documented. It even has automated backups, a README.md, and CHANGELOG.md now!

      The cost has been ~$20 so far (I'm still tinkering with it).

      ETA: I also use Arch NixOS btw


      Edit 2: I asked it "how might I streamline my deployments a little?" It wrote some nicely polished scripts that use deploy-rs, and wrote some nice documentation for it.

      The script didn't work on first run, so I added the console output to the context and asked "what went wrong here?" It debugged and fixed the script, and updated the docs.

      I think this has been the most frictionless NixOS experience I've had so far

        I've done similar things in a coffee shop before, just working on my own code, and I have actually been 'politely' asked to leave by the staff.

        The staff evidently being a bunch of morons who thought I was... hacking into ... something?

        They didn't know what, but they were very concerned.

        I was unable to convince them I was not, because 'terminal' = 'hacking' to idiots who only know anything about computers via movies and tv shows.

                Yay! Cencorship! I spent an extra 3 seconds focusing on the word psychopath trying to figure out what went wrong instead of reading it like a normal word. Isn’t that so much better than offending an algorithm with the letter ‘h’?

                I really think you're being inconsiderate. Advertisers lose $0.02 per non-performing word. Don't you ever consider the shareholders???

                  To be fair my wife is a smart lady, but she still thinks I'm invoking some arcane hacking magic when I'm messing around in the terminal.

                        If you're using arch, you shouldn't need man pages. Because you use arch, BTW.

                        Wait, what? Arch has more comprehensive documentation than just about any other distro.

                          I can’t live without vim.

                          Sometimes I wander into vscode but it’s less productive for me.

                          Plus vscode has weird name inconsistencies (the app is called visual studio code, it’s branded as vscode, and the menu bar says Code), which is probably normal for Microsoft but unusual elsewhere.

                          Some of the plugins I find super useful for running stuff remotely, but man do I miss vim while I'm there.

                                  Is this supposed to be a joke or have we truly gotten to the point where ... coding in a terminal via like hyprland or w/e, without relying on an what is basically an annoying tutorial character from a video game that acts as an assistant...

                                  This is psycopathy?

                                  Having actual competence in one's field?

                                  Oh god we're all doomed, they'll soon be alternating between worshipping us demigods, or burning us at the stake.

                                        I quite literally yelled at the introduction of 'the cloud' as yet another stupid corpo buzzword.

                                        ...

                                        I was working at MSFT the first time someone hsd ever asked me if I had a 'cloud' backup.

                                        What? Do you mean a remote server, offsite?

                                        No, no, in the cloud!

                                        5 minutes of research later.

                                        Oh, so yes, you do mean on a remote server somewhere.

                                        No, no, in the cloud!

                                          In html you end a text style with a /

                                          So think of how you put an asterisk around words to bold / italicise them on sm. In html it would be <b>bold</b> or <i>italics</i>. The slash is an "end format" indicator

                                          So /s or /sarcasm means "end sarcasm" and indicates by reasoning that the previous statement was sarcasm.

                                          The diamond brackets got dropped because with them they were being interpreted as actual html commands on early forums
