Nix represents a different way of building reproducible software, but Nix has its own challenges, and in many ways Docker already won.

So what hope is there for something like Nix in the long run? Come find out tomorrow at the @flox.dev virtual event.

Feeling like we're about to get a perf review for finishing the first quarter of the 21st century... There's a lot of announcements coming for #nixos and @flox.dev but first comes a shout out. Thank you to everyone who made this year possible. Community before code.

I've been experimenting with @flox.dev for a project and its really nice! I've wanted to get into #nixos for a while and Flox simplifies Nix significantly. Next will be using it to replace homebrew for everything except casks. I'll probably also look to use it for a project at work. I'm sold!
