So you think there is absolutely no difference in the kind of collaboration that can be done online vs. IRL? People should get to pick a role where they work from wherever they want, but they should be realistic about both up- and downsid

This only works until you make ~100k GBP or have "complicated" income (e.g. shares instead of cash), which people in our industry hit very easily.

In some cases the upstream modules are simply targeting a different use-case. A lot of modules are written by someone scratching a specific itch - ours are no different, but scratch different itches. I think a better solution (long-term) is

The problem with this is that flakes are currently an experiment, and one which many people in the community think has flaws that need another iteration. Making it stable now locks Nix into the current flakes model forever - it's too e

The move to Matrix was not a community decision, which is why it's now fractured slightly between the different systems. Maybe someone will bridge them in the future.

This looks pretty cool. I've been working on a bunch of monorepo tooling with Nix, and something like this (especially with LSP integration via Nix) would be amazing. A bit difficult to experiment with though, as it is one of the &quot

If this leads to a mass exodus from Freenode, it'll probably significantly reduce overall IRC usage. Communities will fracture, people will set up random splinter networks that will die off in a few months, and lots of open-source proj

Because a huge part of the tech community lives in a kind of "outrage mania" at this point and is just looking for the next shitstorm to post in. This Github thread has literal calls for violence, racism and other such things in i
