    I think it will also depend on where you’re at in your programming maturity. As a student, I had a fair grasp of programming concepts, so at my co-op, I had a mentor who would review my PRs, suggest his changes, and critique both his code and my code, which really felt like a game changer at the time even though it’s such a small gesture. If I wasn’t as comfortable with development then as I was, I don’t think a mentor would’ve suited me at all.

    Of course, this rides on you having the (RARE) opportunity of learning under a decent mentor

    Hey thanks, this is the sort of perspective I was looking for. As far as you’ve revealed, I’m pretty sure we have nearly the same setup.

    I wanted to see if flake-parts would be any enhancement, but it seems not since I’m also managing servers with along with my personal huge flake. I’m working on moving git-crypt out of my config so I can rebuild it straight from git, but I can’t find a way to declare my email in secrets (sops-nix you’re good at everything but…not trivial secrets)
