New post: Setting up a development environment with Nix and Home Manager
Paging @NatHarari and @patbak who expressed an interest in this 🤓

I have a question for fish shell users: do you use fish as your login shell, and have you encountered any problems with that if you do a lot of scripting with external tools?
