  • i’ve also left the world of professional software engineering a couple of months ago

    What are you doing now? 🙂

    I have no intention of leaving my web dev consultant career, I’m loving it, regardless of poor practices (it’s not so bad in the places I’ve been). But I’m curious what kind of careers people find after software development.

    Could someone please explain NixOS to me in simple terms? Whatever I’ve understood thus far is that NixOS is not actually an operating system/distribution. But is it? Have I misunderstood?

    Is it merely a package manager? How does the system work, from declarative config to installed packages?

    And like, do you have to run nix-shell for every dang command you’d like to run??
