I wanted to like nix, but its just too complicated and inconsistent for me to ever recommend it. If my team adopted it, there would be one nix guy/gal that did everything because no one else would bother to learn it.
Also they seem to have alot of breaking changes in the cli. It's basically unlearnable at this point because none of the tutorials or examples work since they were written for a previous version.
Nix seems like a good idea, but the implementation is just a mess. It reminds me of the messy inconsistent AI/ML code I see coming out of academia.
I'll revisit when they have a single executable, that makes the simple things simple like every other package manager. `nix search mypackage` and `nix install mypackage` shouldnt be so difficult.
