Yes, unfortunately, we don’t have time to learn everything, we have to choose. Sys engineer is a rabbit hole which is too deep for me, I prefer spending time on other things.
Currently, I’m into quantum computing. I’m configuring the uConsole so I can easily edit my blog on the go.
No, I have a uConsole on which I experiment various things: WM, kernel, tray bar, etc… So yes, when I want a quick and dirty solution to see if it work, I just ask mistralAI for a command. I have a rough idea of what’s going on, but I’m not a sys engineer and I don’t care about all the subtilities of using systemd, init.d, cron, xinit or whatever solution to run a driver at startup.
I don’t care about stability or integrity, as it’s just a toy and I just wipeout the system when it become too unstable 😉
I’ve installed several windows managers, bash, kernel, etc… without really knowing what I’m doing. It help me quickly check on which config I am.
I gave a try to jj. It’s fine for personal projects or small team and make the workflow a bit easier. No more “git add; git commit; git push” each time you do a modification. You just “jj git push” and everything will be automatically pushed.
However, the biggest criticism I have is that he doesn’t encourage to push every time. It really encourages you to keep your modif locally and push only to create a PR, and that’s not a good approach.
Even if you code is WIP, even if everything crash, you really should push your code to backup it. Who cares ? As long as it is not on master branch, it’s your own mess.
