Absolutely. I'm about a year deep on nix / NixOS and still spend way too much time refactoring things to be more DRY or what I think might be more idiomatic or maintainable going forward (as opposed to a more obvious but uglier approach). Definitely makes it easy to waste time prematurely optimizing, if you're prone to that sort of thing.
