Loved your story, I learned `./configure && make && make install` under similar pretenses. Maybe Nix/Guix can bring us closer to that fanciful reality. I haven't used Nix, but have been really impressed with I'm hearing about festures like Flakes, and particularly Nix Comma, which uses nix-index to make downloading, compiling, and running (without installing) a package as easy as `, firefox`.
