Why might it be useful to run the bash hook every time I run the shell (I imagine it can be used as part of git workflows etc, but mentioning a 'real world' example to supplement the 'hello' demonstration would help clarify this I think

Why is the direnv command useful - I imagine developers would not need to modify their project shell.nix file that often and would probably restart the shell at least daily when they begin working on a project anyway? Or is that not a common workflow and therefore it's worth installing direnv globally on all dev machines to avoid having to restart the shell?
