Wispr Flow just showed me what I said most in 2025.
Go-to phrase: "Let's commit the changes"
In Ghostty: "Please review and commit"
I was hoping it would say "talking to my wife."
Nope. Just git.

If you use Nix you probably hate talking about it. Never bring it up at work. Definitely don't submit a talk.
Unless...?
March 5-6 in Pasadena, co-located with SCaLE. Good conversations, great burritos (it's LA).

What makes Nix stick?
Ron Efroni shares how the Nix community became one of the most helpful and passionate in open source.
We go deeper in Nix in the Wild, where devs share how they’re using Nix in real-world projects.

Sometimes writing code isn’t the hardest part.
It’s dealing with everything *around* it.
❌ Different Node/Python versions.
❌ Piles of dependencies.
❌ READMEs that *almost* work (but don’t).
With Flox, you can set up environments in seconds.

In the real world, Flox and #containers neatly 🧩 complement one another.
The real magic ✨ lies in using Flox inside containers to fetch & manage runtime dependencies dynamically.
This keeps images minimal 📦 + guarantees reproducibility 🔁. Learn more:
