This will be the first episode of the 2023 Nix Developer Dialogues, and we will talk about what it’s like to live the Nix life: networking computers and people, building open source software and communities, freelancing with Numtide, and many other things.

Silvan Mosberger – Paving roads through the jungle: Nixpkgs architecture
Silvan (@infinisil) is one of the most prolific contributors to the Nix ecosystem. Last year he founded the Nixpkgs Architecture Team to solve architectural issues in Nixpkgs that are too big in scope for any single person to tackle. In this episode of the 2023 Nix Developer Dialogues we’ll talk about how Nixpkgs has evolved over the years, what can be learned from the challenges the Nixpkgs architects are dealing with, and explore the roads ahead.

Robert Hensing – Fixed points all the way down: the module system

Thomas Bereknyei & John Ericson – Unexplored superpowers: Nix behind the scenes
Tom (@tomberek) has driven many developments around outreach, user experience, and major technical decisions in the past, and continues to be a force of nature when it comes to helping people to get together and make progress on seemingly intractable problems. John (@Ericson2314) is known for his additions to cross-compilation facilities in Nixpkgs, and contributed by far the largest amount of changes to the Nix C++ code base in recent times. Both have been active in the Nix community for many years, and are members of the Nix maintainer team. In this episode of the 2023 Nix Developer Dialogues, we’ll talk about the cornerstone of the ecosystem, teamwork and timelines, stability and innovation, and conquering the world.
