Why? Saying that Nix is complicated and isn't trivial to use or read without learning prerequisite knowledge is bad now?

I actually pointed out that mkDerivation is something helpful to learn - that's one thing I wish someone made me sit and learn when I first got exposed to Nix. It unlocks a lot.

I wouldn't state it's _bad_. It just adds another layer of complexity (by, for sure, also giving something back) and as someone not working in Fortune 500 (but rather in a SME with <20 people), another layer of conplexity & another language is sonetimes just not feasable.
