I’ve been fascinated with Nix since I did some research on when I worked in Venture Capital, but never had the need to dive in, always thought the activation energy would be too high.

A new employee at our company saw our new dev onboarding, and the brittleness / frustration caused by our onboarding README, and decided to build a flake instead. Within a few days a bunch of our team was using Nix.

I guess my original hypothesis about the effort required to use nix was misguided!

Any of y’all use Nix for onboarding new devs into a reproduceable dev env?
