I am not brand new - and I don't know what the heck the config is doing.

That is why I rely on documentation.

The "code is self-explanatory" is always an attempt to not have useful documentation and try to rationalise that problem away.

Nothing about this changes with Nix nor AI agents.

You can read documentation on an as-needed basis or to your heart's content.

The point is that the majority of the day to day changes I make to my desktop environment aren't so critical that I need to do more than read an AI agent's proposed changes to my config and accept them when they look reasonable.

And I don't think looking up the exact config options to NixOS' networking system does anything to increase my knowledge of the OS. It's just a triviality.
