   > Therein lies the problem. LLMs are not assistants.

   Assisting a person and being an assistant are not synonymous. A cane assists a man while he walks. It is a stick. That's it.

   This is somewhat self-fulfilling is it not? I fear my valuable employee may leave, so to protect myself in this situation I withhold resources I could have granted them. Said employees later realize they could get better and leave.

    I recently switched from using a basic git repo to home-manager.

    You’re correct that the setup you describe gets you a lot of what Nix can provide. The main thing it is missing is Nix will also manage installing your software for you. I find managing both what my software is and how it is configured with a single tool to be very convenient.

    This is all decided by business needs, not by engineer preference. If devs aren’t pulling the levers it is good to expose them in an accessible interface, not plaintext.
