600+ builders. @kelseyhightower.com & I. Tomorrow morning at #planetnix.
We are tackling the main question: Why Nix, and why now?
Because AI just 100x'd our abilities and speed but also the complexity of our software stack.
Nix is the deterministic rails for the AI era.
Joining in from the road!
"Built to Last" - @flox.dev
Thrilled to share that Flox has raised our Series B!
We’re on a mission to make software reproducible, portable & secure by default, a foundation teams can build on for decades.
This is only the beginning. #nixos
Anyone tinkering with Agents or GPUs this week? 🤖

A huge thank you to everyone who took part!
Paris Baguette if you're around the bay area!
Everytime I think about this layering I think about the best type of cake. ;)
Jokes aside, happy to grab some time and chat through things!
Nix represents a different way of building reproducible software, but Nix has its own challenges, and in many ways Docker already won.
So what hope is there for something like Nix in the long run? Come find out tomorrow at the @flox.dev virtual event.
@flox.dev has hit some milestones & we need community 🤗 help + 💗 love! I'm looking for a stellar product leader to partner with me on our mission to drive a generational software shift with the best open source out there (unbiased) @nixos.bsky.social!
The most magical moment in the Nix Brix creation process is after you pour the top coat. Looook at these beauties!
See you at @planetnix.bsky.social soon!!
Two weeks. Beam on to Planet Nix! Join us Mar 5-6 in Pasadena, CA. @flox.dev & friends are launching the 1st-ever Planet Nix event with SCALE. @kelseyhightower.com will dive into his outsider's take on Nix’s highs & lows plus an epic lineup from @anthropic.com, @confluent.bsky.social, Arm, and more
Tonight’s the final call for nominations to the #nixos Foundation Board

Feeling like we're about to get a perf review for finishing the first quarter of the 21st century... There's a lot of announcements coming for #nixos and @flox.dev but first comes a shout out. Thank you to everyone who made this year possible. Community before code.
Keep us posted if we can help out in any way! Would love to hear more about that ansible project.
I've been experimenting with @flox.dev for a project and its really nice! I've wanted to get into #nixos for a while and Flox simplifies Nix significantly. Next will be using it to replace homebrew for everything except casks. I'll probably also look to use it for a project at work. I'm sold!
