Happy to say that I've been using Flox for a couple of weeks and so far (after some initial networking weirdness that wasn't Flox's fault) it's Just Worked. The rest of my team is still getting used to it, so it's possible we'll encounter new pain points in the future, but so far it's been great!

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.

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!
