Before you is an episode of the Full Time Nix podcast. My name is Dawn. My job (self-appointed) is to empower the Nix user. If you're listening on the website, consider listening on a podcast app—they offer fancy features. To new listeners I would recommend starting with a recent episode ...which this might be. I hope you’ll find this episode informative and entertaining.

Ad transcript:
Adopting an unfamiliar technology such as Nix usually comes at a cost. Productivity takes a hit, some of the team find themselves preoccupied providing Nix support, anti-patterns emerge increasing technical debt and morale is affected.
Founded by my friend and mentor Jacek Galowicz, Nixcademy have brought hundreds of individuals up to speed with Nix.
Prevent technical debt, liberate your Nix experts and get on top of Nix and back to work early. Visit nixcademy.com.
Jacek tells me that most Nixcademy clients returned their investment in training in under three months.
They also provide free educational content that I recommend and a Nix newsletter that I subscribe to.
