Gabriel also has a great blog http://www.haskellforall.com/

Basically the kind of person I would love to buy a beer any time because he does so much great work.

on topic: The binary caches are great. For work I'm currently evaluating https://github.com/typeable/stackage2nix and https://github.com/input-output-hk/stack2nix to generate nix expressions from our haskell stack projects. And then push the build artifacts to a shared cache. Such that nobody has to ever compile a dependency twice. Because nothing sucks more than starting your day watching the compiler churn away at compiling after version bumps, to then also see a collegue go to the same pain all over again.
