* you are correct to think “this is a demented amount of busywork; who in their right mind would do this to themselves?”
* you should know that this is a highly atypical setup that does a staggering number of things by hand for no discernible reason
* normal people just install https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin on top of standard nix and enjoy about the same lack of janitorial work as macports/homebrew users, relative to whatever the hell this guy is doing
