Between Python version mismatches, virtual environments, and containers, getting even popular software to work on every operating system and setup is more cumbersome than it should be.
Hackers should be fighting vulnerabilities, not their own tooling.
Nix has solved this for me and I need to share it with people.
It takes "it works on my machine" to a whole new level.
Nix suffers from an inordinate degree of mystery that turns a lot of people away from it, but those of us who have pushed through the haze have come to appreciate just how brilliant Nix is.
But it doesn't have to be complicated, and I'll be demonstrating that.
