It's like summoning software from the aether, still feels like magic to me every time.
Quite glad to see Hillel enjoying @nixos_org. Really enjoy his writing and am curious to see what develops!
After a month or so of using @nixos_org at @AntithesisHQ, I have to admit I'm actually pretty into it. It's really frustrating in some ways, but it's also SO COOL in other ways. I friggin love `nix shell -p --run`
This is huge! Babashka is already incredibly useful for all manner of things from scripts to servers. Now it goes further with less.
Looking forward to the JVM being an optional dep in the nix derivation as well 🤓
#clojure #nix
New #babashka that can load :deps from bb.edn without Java, it can run tools.build, nREPL improvements (nrepl.core now bundled!) and more!

Had a lot of fun playing with Zola, but look, I didn't rewrite it in Clojure, so can how have this been "too far"? 😅

@brentgervais has two hours to build a great website, and the solution he finds feels more like a Linux tool than a modern web framework. Naturally, @wespayne takes it too far.
Tensor products with my ice cream scoop? Well, at least I can learn something while I shop... 😅

Linux is great...until you mess it up. Share your most epic Linux face-palm moments so we can all laugh (and maybe learn) together in next week's @LinuxUnplugged.
Well there goes the afternoon...
Just give a try to services-flake. This project, freshly open-sourced by Juspay, allows defining and running services in your project flakes and works on both Linux and macOS. buff.ly/3WH9GDA

I'm perpetually OCaml curious, so it's great to see a nice story around using it with #nix! 🤓👀
Bye Opam, Hello Nix dlvr.it/T6rvhk

I love seeing people call Elixir + Phoenix the "technology of the week" in @t3dotgg's video.
In practice, they had reached 1.0 before many of the cited alternatives were even created! More importantly, they are *still* in v1.x almost 10 years later! :D
This. Also something I continue to appreciate about #clojure.
Well this checks out... 😅

Today I learned about `git commit --fixup=<commit>` and `git rebase --update-refs --autosquash -i <commit>` and my life has significantly improved.
I fear no stacked PRs. Bring it.
Just the sort of development to signal I should probably keep exploring devenv...
Branch your development environment configuration when testing using `devenv test`:

Delivered in 10min after the feature request on devenv.sh discord 🥳
Have played with it a bit for python and clojure projects, seems quite promising! I especially like that I can integrate it via nix flakes without any extra tooling. Here's a quick and unoptimized example for python that's also using pdm: github.com/noblepayne/celery…
