For an amazing fighting game guide/tutorial I can't recommend https://ki.infil.net enough. Its centered around Killer Instinct but describes general fighting game concepts really well. It has really great visuals/inline videos

While nix can be very intimidating to get going, I think for just getting developer environments spun up it can be somewhat simple. I highly reccomend trying to add a `flake.nix` to your projects. It makes on boaring new devs a breeze https://medium.com/immuta-engineering/nix-and-skaffold-for-p...

Yea I think the main issue holding nix back is lack of documentation/standards on how to do things.

Like the other commenter mentioned how npmlock2nix exists but it's hard to figure out that these tools exists.

Im hoping that flakes help solve alot of problems to make it easier for users to jump in. Then hopefully the documentation problem will naturally start going away as more people start using nix.

Not sure why I always forget amend exists. That is much cleaner

Yea I will agree it's daunting. I've been using nix os for 2 years and this was my first time making a pr back.

I think using nix for personal projects helps build your mental model a lot more. Once you take the time to build a package manually alot of it clicks.

As a user of nixos/nix if you're not building packages it's great. Nixos is quite declarative for most settings. The main issue is just figuring out what options exist...

Nix as a home brew replacement without using homemanger/nix Darwin is not a great sell to me imo.

Using flakes and using it for project dependencies though is amazing and quite easy to use imo.

We decided to use it at my job for a new project and it's been pretty amazing https://link.medium.com/DwIGVmRZ6rb
