    I find myself moving more and more non-build things into nix builds because I don't want to roll my own cache invalidation. Seems like this is yet another reason to do so.

      Seeing Nix these days is such a whiplash experience. We have fully deterministic systems and then we have LLMs. God ;)

          I use an agent to author my nix config - personally I don't have the determination to have picked Nix up entirely on my own so I find it to be a godsend. I can code review config changes and keep it all in git - also makes it easy to pick up the entire config and deploy it on a different machine.

        Dude, this is amazing stuff. Farid really is putting out banger after Nix banger haha. This sounds like a mini/less capable Antithesis runtime, but running on your machine.

        Curious: how does Rewind deal with randomness?
