One thing that has helped somewhat is being more thorough in my exploration of repo's that are doing things that are similar to what I'm trying to do.

I want to use nix with a nim project, so I wrote a script that walks through all of the repo's in nimble (nim's package manager) and then filtered those for ones that had a flake.nix in the repo root.

Going through them was a helpful dose of context. It's like you gotta approach it from theory to practice and from practice to theory and eventually your efforts will meet in the middle. I think. I have glimmers of meeting in the middle happening.
