... cli tools checking which shell is enabled.

Regardless, I think I've come a long way in a week, and its a marathon, not a sprint. More learning to come! One thing I've found is the Nix community is awesome and willing to help, thanks!

... I have the nix skills to transfer them over. Specifically where some of my modules will check the status of another before implementing a setting, otherwise falling back to a default - if interested: github.com/leonlonsdale... - an example being terminals checking if I've enabled a font, or ...

Thank you. I actually now have it working, both with flake.nixosModules and flake.modules.

I will pause it here while I do further reading - there are some implementations in my current configuration that I'd like to mirror in a move to this pattern. As of yet I'm not sure ...

Modules. In that approach I’ve left hardware-configuration in etc/nixos to keep it out of my repo which is in ~/nixconfig.

I’m playing with nix-files at the moment

Why thank you! I guess the biggest obstacle, as both a Linux and nix noob, is taking that default configuration.nix and hardware-configuration.nix and turning it into modules with flake-parts. I think,l my current config (which is working) is pretty close to the approach but only using regular nix…

Are you aware of any more beginner friendly examples or guides going from fresh install to dendritic?

@mightyiam.bsky.social I’m a recent convert. I left windows behind for NixOS a little over a week ago. Very interested in your dendritic pattern. Alas, all examples I can find are so abstracted they’re beyond my nix comprehension. I already implement flake-parts in my. Current configuration…

Why? When I was teaching myself, the discords were packed and active. Now though, I see new learners join and ask questions only to receive no response. Feeling supported is a great motivator to keep going!

I am interested in creating a Discord server for people teaching themselves to code to pop in and ask for support from experienced devs. Of course, the experienced devs would actually have be in there first. Would any on here be willing to chill and answer questions when you have spare time?

@typecraft.dev lots of new features in neovim and breaking changes to plugins since your setup series. Is 2026 the year for a fresh setup tutorial?

Thanks, not quite what I was looking for. More the ability to stick a config file in say ~/.config/biome to set default preferred settings.

@biomejs.dev does Biome support a global configuration that it will look for if there’s no local project config, like Ruff does in Python? It would be cool to not have to create the same config for every project.

Your invite to Warpβ€”the agentic development platform Warp is an AI agent platform that lets you run multiple agents in parallel to complete any development task.

Giving @warp.dev another whirl. This has improved drastically since I last tried it. Looks as though it may have persistent session management like tmux/zellij, but I need to look into that a bit more. Give it a try (yes it's a referral - access directly if you prefer): app.warp.dev/referral/R93...

@wagslane.bsky.social I’m seeing BST examples implemented using a single class and also using 2 classes (node and tree). Are there any reasons why you might choose one approach over the other?

I've been quiet but still coding. I've been focusing my attention on working through the Boot.dev curriculum by @wagslane.bsky.social. Recently finished building the static site generator project - what a brain melter that was! It's done, and I ranked up to Archsage.
