Cool! There were definitely some hacks/issues with nix-darwin though most of my time was probably spent porting my neovim config[1] (still working on it) which should mostly carry over if I want to check out NixOS. I'll probably take the spare machine approach as you mentioned.

I have not tried either yet. There seems to be a few of these nix-based dev envs coming out which is one reason I became curious. I wanted to learn baseline nix before jumping into any of these.

If you are using nix-darwin to set up your macos, I'd be curious to hear about your experience.

In the past three weeks I've explored two use cases:

1. Macbook setup via nix-darwin + home-manager. Now that I've put in the time, I'm going to use it for my personal and family laptops. I would probably not recommend anyone else do this if they have not previously used Nix. Very high ramp given the benefits.

2. Dev environments[1]. I started using nix+direnv for my side projects. This was quick and easy to get started with and has been great. Would recommend anyone look into it via the link below.

I have not tried installing/using NixOS.

Providing support for other infra-as-code solutions like Pulumi is definitely on the roadmap!

Thanks Ed!

Woah, this is a blast from the past! I used Light Table a bunch a few years ago in my clojure days.

Sym helps developers build access flows for their infrastructure resources using code. The Sym SDK makes it easy to create workflows for things like temporary access to an S3 bucket or moving a user between Okta groups, which you can then expose in a Slack UI for your team members to use right in their existing channels.

The current two top stories reminded me of this.

One thing that might be of interest is that I explore a way to determine IAM actions needed to execute Terraform by first running it against LocalStack.

I don't think he's blaming HN to the point where he's shirking responsibility for what he did. I read this post as a clever way to get play on HN which will help him get some of his stars/watchers back.
