Late evening for you might be early in the morning for someone else. This might open up opportunity for someone who wouldn’t be able to make it with the usual times.
thank you @tomberek for the additional time you stayed around to discuss things with me!
Hugely helpful. if nothing else its great to have this direct voice time with experienced nix developers. this is a hugely beneficial thing in itself. i asked a lot of questions about debugging, releases, community and easing new user adoption. voice/video is 100x more beneficial than just text in nixos channels.
I learned about nix repl’s autocompletion, the debugging paths to take during errors in system configurations, nix adoption, many other things.

I’ll list again what was we covered this friday. I had requested help with hacking some specific parsing errors in dream2nix, because I had no idea how to debug nix expressions in such cases. @tomberek ran through it with me and I was able to understand picking apart expressions and using the repl to quickly get input/output. Got a PR merged that fixed the edge case: fix: parse resolved keys with git+https correctly by tgunnoe · Pull Request #99 · nix-community/dream2nix · GitHub
I’ll be around for tomorrow if anyone is interested in collaborating or hanging out. I haven’t been working on anything in particular but im a huge fan of more direct nix-globe related hangouts
Edit: maybe not because i got busy with other things today
