Nix is a better Docker image builder than Docker's image builder
There are attempts like
https://flake.parts/
or
https://github.com/nix-community/flakelight
Their aim is to create an ecosystem of reusable Nix libraries. But it is tiny.

Nix noob question
You can also just install flakes doing nix profile install . I wrote a tool to make it a bit easier, npt but it's completely optional. Once you install the packages with nix profile. Then in your repos you can use a flake with a devShell and run nix develop. Check https://flake.parts to write your flakes.

I'm getting on the hype train. What do you recommend to beginner?
Definitely use flakes from the get-go. It's much more sane. Nix's documentation can be unorganized, but read through it when you can. Modules and other projects tend to have their own documentation as well, like Home Manager and flake-parts

Why you don't need flake-utils

Nix is a better Docker image builder than Docker's image builder
Newcomer here. Could anyone tell if std [0] is a good way to bring more sanity into flake design, esp. in avoiding ivory towery custom approaches? Using devenv.sh is another option, but I liked emphasis on having a common mental picture and focus on SLDC that std provides.

Show HN: Flox 1.0 – Open-source dev env as code with Nix
Agreed on the experience, hard to onboard. I looked at devenv.sh as easier way to get going. Implemented all with Nix, less lock-in. Just found std [0] and that quote looks promising too.
