I'm in the process of learning russian. It's a very interesting language. And i find learning new languages a kind of a stimulating thing to do. So i moved here recently. Tried ot a few different parts of the city. Its been a couple of months now, and its its starting to feel like home. I lived out of a suit case for about a year before that, in different countries. You reach a point eventually where you like, i'd just like to have a home where i can kind of unpack the suit case and i'd not worry about where i'm staying next.

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.
