00:00- I don't like anniversaries, but this milestone is important to me since I've put quite some effort into it.
- After months of hard work by @ValentinGagari4, we have the most comprehensive Nix language tutorial: nix.dev/tutorials/nix-… Please, share it with your peers and report any kind of issues following the tutorial 😊
- A team migrated from Docker to devenv.sh and their test suite went from from 9m55s to 2m33s on macOS. This is the way.
- A new chapter. I'm quite excited be part of @earnestcapital and to be able to focus full-time on building infrastructure for Nix and taking us one step further to mainstream adoption.Very excited to announce we have invested in @domenkozar & @cachix_org earnestcapital.com/earnest-capita…
- nixpkgs is not too big to scale, there are just people leading it for social justice points instead of making it better. It could have been made amazing if is interests to change the culture into building stuff instead of seeking political dominance. I do plan to talk to SC
- It's going to take another few years before developers recognize that Haskell folks have built an amazing technology built upon foundations of math. And yes, it's also easier to use for humans. Go, etc will be remembered as Java. Good ideas take time.

- Nix is such a fantastic tech. Once we get the ergonomics right, I'm sure the many will switch over quite easily.
- We've completely revamped devenv.sh ✨ Developer environments should be as simple as toggling options. Especially if you're exploring Nix, give it a try ✨ • languages • processes • services • scripts/git-hooks • tests • containers • poly/mono repo support
