#nix #nixos learning curve is no joke. I was frustrated to learn more about why I kept having derivations that were not present on my machine. I was surprised to learn about the derivation churn that occurs. fzakaria.com/2025/10/29/nix…

I finally got around to putting most of the talks I've done together on a single page. wdyt? fzakaria.com/talks
Could've done it with a spreadsheet but I'm happy to partake in the #vibe coding. I built an app to figure out how much is the difference from doing lump sum into your mortgage considering your mortgage difference itself can be reinvested in the market. fzakaria.github.io/mortgage-payof…
I need 1-2 more endorsers for SC #nix #nixos 2025 elections please to self-nominate. Note: You have to also register your email first which makes you also eligible to vote. discourse.nixos.org/t/the-election… github.com/NixOS/SC-elect…
I'm seeking 3 endorsements for SC election to be eligible 🙏 > Reply with a comment containing !endorse github.com/NixOS/SC-elect…
Toggling #linux capabilities via modifying a tar file was a pretty sneaky way to get around having to run setcap in a #bazel action fzakaria.com/2025/09/09/baz…
Give the best parts of #nixcon2025 so I can watch them tonight -- FOMO is real.
What I enjoy about #bazel is learning how you can improve developer experience and provide insightful tools when you integrate the build system deeply with the underlying language. unused_deps is a great example of this. fzakaria.com/2025/08/27/baz…
Using #nix #nixos as a c++ library was way easier than I thought. I feel energized to do a whole slew of new projects now 🤌🤤 fzakaria.com/2025/08/17/usi…
End result of the stream: github.com/NixOS/nix/pull… #nix got the 1 issue done!
I think I'm going to stream tonight and work on a #nix bug Like people silently clicking keys to a loud fan ? You'll love my stream.
Thank you @confluentinc for hosting us
Bay Area Nix and Functional Programming meetup in Mountain View. Thanks @fmzakari for hosting. @ronefroni for organizing. Beautiful view of the hills and mountains.
100%, with the podcasts I've been on and just talking to people it is a difficult thing to explain. Though I think @fmzakari did an awesome job to explain it at Nix Vegas recently. If we had more people like him explaining it, it might be easier for people to pick up.
nixpkgs is not too big to scale, there are just people leading it for social justice points instead of making it better. It could have been made amazing if is interests to change the culture into building stuff instead of seeking political dominance. I do plan to talk to SC…
Back from #DEFCON33 and the first-ever #nix #nixos community there. Lots of ideas to write-up but one idea from tomberek about starting to think about fun ideas we can do with angled brackets once NIX_PATH is removed fzakaria.com/2025/08/10/ang…
