  • So far the best AI tool use policy I’ve read, specially this bit:

    Your PR body should be providing context to other developers about why a change was made, and if your name is on it, we want your words and explanations, not an LLM’s. If you can’t explain what the LLM did, we are not interested in the change.

    I use YADM which is a thin wrapper around a bare git repo but still has some creature comforts like per-machine configs and templating.
    Since you still need to interact with Git, I pair it with Lazygit. Love that software, I do everything Git with it now!
    Unfortunately it is a little jank due to the way Lazygit handles bare repos, thankfully there’s a command that sets up the needed Git variables for it to work correctly: yadm enter lazygit

    I send the repo to my own Forgejo instance. Kinda overkill but I was already self-hosting other services so I thought “Fully private Git server just for me? Why not?”

    Now, this is only for managing user level files. For managing system level configs I haven’t setup anything yet.
    YADM has a solution for this but it seems a little jank, maybe I’ll learn Ansible instead, dunno.
