Learned a lesson about @flox.dev today. The more stuff you have in a default environment the more likely it is that you’ll accidentally leave something out of a project environment because it’s already available. Won’t be obvious until someone else tries to use the project without your default env

Exciting news! We've been shortlisted for the OpenUK Awards 2025! Grateful for the support of our team and community 💜 #openukawards @openuk.bsky.social

Nix has superpowers: ✅ It’s a cross-platform, cross-language, cross-toolchain package manager. ✅ It’s a virtual environment manager, offering the same huge breadth of platform, language, and toolchain support. ✅ It’s a declarative build system. More: buff.ly/6tYxVME

When things just work → developers can focus on building. That’s why Rok (Flox engineer, Nix user, 20+ years in software) is kicking off a new series on Flox! In Rok’s words: things just work. This is just the teaser 🚀 Stay tuned, more Flox videos coming soon!
