Heck i used Claude when it sucked just to ask it questions. It was wrong on 50% of the questions back then but it still was easier than randomly searching for the solutions. Claude helped unblock me when i got stuck on obtuse nix errors, foreign compilation issues, etc.

These days it's magical, but it was even a huge boon when it was barely functional. Nix just had a way of leaving me super confused and stranded.
