I believe that we’re in violent agreement :)

I used the exact same words “things stay fixed” elsewhere in the thread. Which is big psychologically. I’ll do some really difficult or even painful things in good humor if I get a lasting benefit. But if someone or something is just going to yank the rug underneath me next month? Fuck it, hack up some doofy shell script and call it a day.

Nix aligns the incentives on getting things right. I’m happy to learn the arcana of some weird corner case of some tool or service if I can apply that in a way that is permanent.

Now we just need someone to unfuck the UX nightmare :P
