Hello, Im trying to adopt nix and would like help getting up to speed and avoiding wrong directions: responsive Q&A, guidance with the understanding/context of my goals, perhaps a pair session here or there.
My primary goal is to create reproducible dev and ci envs with elegant dx. I tend to use a shared git repo for neighboring components - most are node/typescript and Im ocaml/rust/haskell curious. Also interested in terranix to escape some terraform pains.
I dont really like gitops and want to ship hermetical sealed artifacts but the app code is often not enough. Shipping flakes may help realize.

Without claiming augural capabilities, the use case smells a bit like GitHub - divnix/std: A DevOps framework for the SDLC with the power of Nix and Flakes. Good for keeping deadlines!. Not because you mention flakes, but because I see a devops use case between the lines (i.e. dx).
And GitHub - divnix/std-action: A GitHub Action collection for Standard. For the CI with good dx.
A word of warning, though. While it may provide a fit for your (presumed) goals, it’s not an easy ride.

divnix/std does look applicable - thanks for sharing it.
