Nix journey part 0: Learning and reference materials
It’s super vague. The only way I could find to understand how to create a flake (for https://mimoo.github.io/nixbyexample/) was trial and error and diving into the nix codebase.

- nixos vscode rust analyzer cannot read rust-src in /nix/store because it requires root permissions

Devenv.sh: Fast and reproducible developer environments using Nix
This is great! After spending some time with nix and writing https://mimoo.github.io/nixbyexample/ I figured it’s too consuming and hard to manage nix yourself. These usable user-facing tools are really what nix needs to go to the next level

Super Colliding Nix Stores: Nix Flakes for Millions of Developers
- you may want to search from the command line
`nix search` is a cruel joke which doesn't allow searching by the name/program that would be installed, only package name, and requires a flake name every time. Absolutely terrible interface.
My tool is a single-install binary that performs fast and accurate search to help you find the right package name to install a given binary. I don't understand how after years of using other package managers anyone could want a search tool that does anything other than this by default.
For more details on why this exists, check out https://github.com/peterldowns/nix-search-cli#motivation

The nix package search website is OK, but it doesn't let you filter by the names of installed binaries. A lot of the time, you have a question like "what nixpkgs attribute do i install in order to get the `python3` command". I recently wrote a command line tool that allows you to do this. It uses the same elasticsearch index as the search website, but allows more powerful filtering. If anyone is thinking of getting into nix, please consider trying it out!
