Hey, look it's the Nix zealots again. Sure, let's all jump onboard that tool that even it's advocates admit it's quirky and has a huge learning curve.

I'm a zealot for pointing out that this tool distinctly doesn't solve what is often cited as a major footgun and misunderstanding of how docker containers are almost always built?

I'll take a learning curve with actual reproducability any day anytime. Add this to the "git is hard" list of complaints. Bending over 8hrs a day and line cooking is harder.

Do you know how many stupid "you're using docker wrong if you don't do this quirky trick!!" articles I've read or written myself over the last 5 years? And still virtually no one bothers to follow all of them because they're virtually impossible to achieve with conventional package managers? Just the zealots noticing this?
