This comment thread highlights an issue that Nix has...some people love it personally, some love it professionally. Some are software engineers, others are hackers.

Most of the comments here seem to be from people using NixOS on a laptop. NixOS as a production OS in the cloud or on a robot is a game changer.

In a world of LLMs and agentic coding, I think documentation is less important.

Also a delightful human in every interaction I’ve had with him.

I've used HubSpot in the past but currently just using Notion.

What is so interesting about Nix is that it's not one thing. Its not (just) a distro. Its not (just) a package manager. Its not (just) a system manager. Its not (just) a language. Its not (just) a build tool.

It is all those things, but specifically, what you want it to be. Yes, that makes it super confusing, but also powerful.

Interesting. I asked similar questions (Who will win the Presidential Election and Will XXX college football team win the national championship, etc) and none of the responses included percentages or yes/no indicators like the examples you link to.

Can you provide an example of the type of question that comes back with a reasonable prediction? So far, I've tried 3 times, and the answer each time was something along the lines of [prediction will be true] if [they do the thing that makes the prediction true] which is not useful.

Pings don’t seem like enough info
