Nix: my workflow
Today, I was asked what the canonical way to use Nix is. After a brief pause, I responded with the old joke about asking 100 Nix users how to do something and getting 200 solutions back 🤷. A short chuckle later, I went on to describe my canonical way of using Nix. It’s been nearly a year since I wrote a retrospective about my first experiences with Nix and NixOS. Since then, I’ve used Nix a lot. In that time, I’ve developed my preferred way of using it, and that’s what the rest of this blog post is about.
