I started my show and tell at work yesterday with: “Every company has a crazy person talking about #Nix. I never imagine that one day I would be that person but here we are.”
I gave a quick demo how I could `nix develop` into a controlled reproducible development environment for one of our projects. Not sure if any of it stuck, but people will have at least seen it once now.
@alper the best way to do this stuff is to contract `nix develop` with broken shit like #asdf.
Here's an example of me motivating #nix via #cabal hell back in the day:

@jonn I’ve never gotten to the point where I needed anything more than built in vanilla Haskell.
@jonn No idea what is happening there, but that's fine.
