Niks has to do a bunch of strange hags to make some of this work. But it's a very interesting guarantee to have, because the idea of reputability is that things that are repeatable are equivalent. And even if you have some sort of impurity, like your running a seplus plus linke on a machine with a lot of sip cors, and you end up linking the bindery in a different order just because of races in sipie,. The output that comes out of it in the end is still an equivalent programm to the one and that the other machine build. It's a very strong guarantee. In many ways, its quite useful for operations.

Episode notes
Vincent Ambo –the person behind nixery.dev, tvl.fyi, and a former Google engineer– shares his take on monorepos, Nix, and fully declarative systems without any Flux, Argo or Kubernetes.
While the tooling is impressive, it’s the principles behind it that captivated Gerhard’s imagination. Vincent has a rather interesting take on the monorepository idea, including one change - one version - one deploy. There are a lot of interesting links in the show notes, including all the code that Vincent uses to manage infrastructure.
As a result of this conversation, Gerhard is running Nix on one of his Macs, and also started experimenting with his first NixOS production instance.
