Making software more sustainable with Nix
Beschrijving
I try to improve accessibility and sustainability in computing. Financial support will help me do more of that, independent of commercial and institutional funding.
I try to help making computers work reliably in the long run with Nix. Since 2022 my main focus has been on improving the documentation landscape in the Nix ecosystem.
Sponsored by my employer Tweag and their client Antithesis:
- Leading the Nix documentation team
- Writing tutorials for nix.dev
- Improving the Nix reference manual as member of the Nix maintainer team
As a contractor for the NixOS Foundation:
But there are lots of deep problems in the Nix ecosystem, which prevent improvements in user experience, performance, and maintainability. Those can only be addressed with continued work that does not rely on short- or even mid-term profitability or the current fashion topics for investments. Such underlying technical roadblocks, which keep dragging down development, usually fly below the radar even of power users. Your support will help me address issues no one else will.
