<p>There’s this crazy thing that happens where you need to use carbon to decarbonize.<p>Solar panels are made in factories where energy and inputs are cheaper and then shipped on diesel cargo ships to the rest of the world.<p>Our cars run on gas, so we need new electric ones, but the ships and car carriers are themselves… not electric yet.<p>Because energy is more expensive, everything is more expensive, including electrification.</p>

<p>I would just like to give this a big ol’ +1. I did not like Nix when I started. The ergonomics are hard to get around, but the power is honestly hard to overstate.<p>Coding agents actually help with a lot of the ergonomic issues. If you have an evaluation issue, it can be annoying to climb into nixpkgs to diagnose it. But codex will do that for you.<p>I’ve found agenix in particular to be really great addition for agents: secrets you can copy around without risk of accidental disclosure.<p>In a day I can now deploy Caddy, Authentik, Fleet, Headscale, Stalwart, jmap-webmail, Forgejo, SFTPGo, Immich, Grafana, Jaeger, PostHog, etc. and have them all work together. I can do this on a tiny VPS, and codex can actually estimate and test performance to minimize cost.<p>The equivalent Kubernetes setup wastes so much on isolation and a scheduler that is overkill for anything small.</p>

<p>Codex is using its app server protocol to build a nice client/server separation that I enjoy on top of the predictable Rust performance.<p>You can run a codex instance on machine A and connect the TUI to it from machine B. The same open source core and protocol is shared between the Codex app, VS Code and Xcode.</p>
