So excited that this is finally public!

We’re hosting our first Flox User Online Meetup 🚀

Zach will walk us through Flox services and we'll cover:

- How to add background processes to your environment with services
- Making reusable services with composition
- How services work under the hood

How's your day going? #Nix

It sounds like I might qualify for an EU Blue Card, so I’ve started looking into that 🤞

On top of that, you now have the ability to perform builds where *you* choose where you land on the rigor vs effort spectrum. No need to use Nixpkgs helper functions, just use the same commands you already know to build your software.

This is a big feature we’ve been working on for a bit and it’s really cool. You essentially get a private, language-agnostic software repository integrated with your developer environment.

New blog post about a @flox.dev feature I worked on that I've wanted since I joined the company two years ago: tinkering.xyz/flox-composi...

This feature lets you compose developer environments, or prepare distinct, building-block envs and combine them for new projects. It's *so cool*.

FightinCowboy got me through my first Elden Ring playthrough. I love that guy!

As an official #eink stan, there’s a strong urge to buy an E-ink monitor and develop a #hyprland theme that works well for grey scale displays.

I’ve been on a real “reducing distractions” kick lately. I’ve been sick all week and decided to leave my Apple Watch off, and feel so much better.

Why Nix, and Why Now? A Flox Live Event | LinkedIn What is it about Nix? Everybody is talking about this all-in-one package manager and build system. But why? In this Flox Live Event, join Kelsey Hightower from Kubernetes and Ron Efroni from the Nix…

There's still time to register for tomorrow's live event with Kelsey Hightower and Ron Efroni! Attend and hear how Nix can change the way you think about managing software.

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 have four plane flights coming up. Such a chore. Packing, checking in, scheduling a cab to the airport, and leaving instructions for my funeral.
