It's unreal. I've packaged so many super daunting packages that would take myself weeks to package (and some that I've tried and failed to package). I have 6 years of daily driving nixos...So I'm not exactly new to the distro.

Even messing with stdenv or language builders is trivialized. Any software that I want, I can get within a few hours of claude/codex just spinning unsupervised. It's so nice! Underrated for sure.

And if you watch what it's actually doing during a session like that, it's basically exactly what a human would do: run the build, find the error, google the error, consider 2-3 possible fixes, pick one and apply it, repeat. Afterward, look at the various patches and fixups and decide if a refactor is necessary.
