Two years ago I tried to set up my home-webserver with nixOS. I failed miserably.

The post hits the nail on the head: The documentation is horrible, and barely differentiates between the language, the package manager and the OS itself.

I really like the idea behind nix; maybe something with better execution comes up one day :)



I’m holding out for this - Nix is the only tech I veto in startups I work at nowadays because I’ve never seen it go well beyond small dev scripts, and time spent on Nix is time taken from the product/project.
