    • Numtide does Nix packages for AI/Coding/Tools

      • Numtide/llm-agents.nix
        • Learning nix

          • I'm getting to know more of nix's surface area and some of its drawbacks.
          • What I want
            • easily keep dependencies up to date (within at least two weeks of freshness)
            • quickly add a new cli tool, whether that's on pip or npm or some other system
          • What I have so far
            • what works
            • what doesn't
              • nixpkgs is often lagging a month to a year behind the latest packages in terms of freshness
                • it takes time to find yet alone vet community-submitted package collections (such as Numtide)
                • it's unclear whether security solutions like HeelerAI or Snyk are going to work well with Nix; they seem pretty oriented at more traditional package managers
