Hm. That actually sounds doable (we do have hashes for integrity). I'll try that and see how it goes.

It's tempting, and I tried that, but ran away crying. We're using Docker images instead for now.

We are also using direnv that transparently execs commands inside Docker containers, this works surprisingly well.



Sure, whatever floats your boat!

I'm just sad that Nix is often dismissed as intractable, and I feel that's mostly because tutorials get too hung up on concept rabbit holing.
