What I enjoy about #bazel is learning how you can improve developer experience and provide insightful tools when you integrate the build system deeply with the underlying language. unused_deps is a great example of this. fzakaria.com/2025/08/27/baz…

Using #nix #nixos as a c++ library was way easier than I thought. I feel energized to do a whole slew of new projects now 🤌🤤 fzakaria.com/2025/08/17/usi…
End result of the stream: github.com/NixOS/nix/pull… #nix got the 1 issue done!
I think I'm going to stream tonight and work on a #nix bug Like people silently clicking keys to a loud fan ? You'll love my stream.
Thank you @confluentinc for hosting us

@SamRose @domenkozar @bereknyei 100%, with the podcasts I've been on and just talking to people it is a difficult thing to explain. Though I think @fmzakari did an awesome job to explain it at Nix Vegas recently. If we had more people like him explaining it, it might be easier for people to pick up.
Farid Zakaria retweeted
nixpkgs is not too big to scale, there are just people leading it for social justice points instead of making it better. It could have been made amazing if is interests to change the culture into building stuff instead of seeking political dominance. I do plan to talk to SC…
Back from #DEFCON33 and the first-ever #nix #nixos community there. Lots of ideas to write-up but one idea from tomberek about starting to think about fun ideas we can do with angled brackets once NIX_PATH is removed fzakaria.com/2025/08/10/ang…
Farid Zakaria retweeted
Nix Vegas has been awesome. Even though this is our first year, it's been awesome. We've only got tomorrow left but I'd like to thank these people who made it possible: @_numinit, @djacu0, @bereknyei, @JoeSpeeds, @grhmc, @ronefroni. It's not everyone who made this possible but
A frend made me this sweet @FrameworkPuter magnetic case for our expansion cards. So sweet
Farid Zakaria retweeted
Who’s around to chat @nixos_org on Tuesday evening? We’re hosting a casual meetup with Nix friends at @confluentinc in Mountain View. With a bit of Nix sparkle from @bereknyei & Farid Zakaria. DM me or sign up here: lu.ma/x2kmk1ld
#protobuf continues to be a thorn at my side in the use of it within our #bazel repo. 🥲 Building from source is simple and easy but it's rare to do at scale. Adding prebuilt artifacts seems appealing at first but you pay the piper later. fzakaria.com/2025/07/28/baz…
