Nix ain't trying to win marketshare it's trying to be amazing. But it takes guts to be amazing and that means a lot of people don't manage to use Nix.

HN tends to see success in terms of adoption rate & ranking. Nix is on another plane. It's beyond critical mass. And for people like me, it is a huge force multiplier. But I had to grind my way to the point where that is true.

I tend to not bother selling people on it. People who want what Nix does will find it at some point. So I just focus on using Nix myself in a world of worse tools. Feels great.

Oh, I'm not selling these cars. No, no. These babies sell themselves.

The difference between the person you're replying to and a car salesman is that they're a user and not a salesman.
