You know Nix. Your team doesn't. You've tried the pitch. They went back to Docker.

Giving a workshop at PlanetNix on what actually works:
Give your team Flox. They get reproducible envs in minutes,
No Nix required. You keep your flakes. Everyone wins.

Some teammates will eventually learn Nix. Some won't.
Both fine.
Flox and Nix coexist.

"Flox 101: You Know Nix. Your Team Doesn't. Now What?"
March 5-6, Pasadena.

Wispr Flow just showed me what I said most in 2025.

Go-to phrase: "Let's commit the changes"
In Ghostty: "Please review and commit"

I was hoping it would say "talking to my wife."

Nope. Just git.

~12 hours for PlanetNix CFP.

If you use Nix you probably hate talking about it. Never bring it up. Definitely don't submit a talk.

Unless...?

March 5-6, Pasadena. Great burritos (it's LA).

And more ideas are planned, but one thing at the time. Next 3 things that I plan to work on are:
- unify search between packages/options
- apply the same theme as for http://nixos.org
- search over flakes (a multi step task)

This has been in the works for quite some time now, but I never found the time to finish it. Now there is a PR that introduces filter/faceted search.

Searching for #nixos package just got better. How do you like it?
