In this most remarkable presentation, I chronicle my extensive explorations through the untamed wilderness of enterprise landscape and the experiences of applying Nix within said corporate domain.
The audience shall discover the arcane rituals of cargo cults development, learn to navigate the treacherous waters of organisational silos and master the craft of sanctifying Nix usage. Like a seasoned naturalist cataloging the flora and fauna of some newly discovered archipelago, I have meticulously documented the peculiar behaviors of people unfamiliar with Nix, the resistance patterns towards making the effort to learn it, and the curious customs of playing the responsibility ping-pong.
This tongue-in-cheek talk aims to share a collection of arguments and concrete actions one can make, to convince others to use Nix at their workplace. The rebuttal of frequent misconceptions (Docker makes nix not needed) included.
