@rishi talking about @nixos_org at @floss.social #cki2025

Enables reproducible builds years later

If I had a dollar for every flake I've pulled from Github that didn't build because of link rot, and $10 for every nixpkgs package that didn't build because one of its dependencies had broken and it hadn't been updated, I could afford to contribute to Nix full time

@bshah@fosstodon.org how does it eliminate "works on my machine" stuff? I get that kind of stuff a lot and i'd love for it to disappear
