Cool! There were definitely some hacks/issues with nix-darwin though most of my time was probably spent porting my neovim config[1] (still working on it) which should mostly carry over if I want to check out NixOS. I'll probably take the spare machine approach as you mentioned.
I have not tried either yet. There seems to be a few of these nix-based dev envs coming out which is one reason I became curious. I wanted to learn baseline nix before jumping into any of these.
If you are using nix-darwin to set up your macos, I'd be curious to hear about your experience.
In the past three weeks I've explored two use cases:
1. Macbook setup via nix-darwin + home-manager. Now that I've put in the time, I'm going to use it for my personal and family laptops. I would probably not recommend anyone else do this if they have not previously used Nix. Very high ramp given the benefits.
2. Dev environments[1]. I started using nix+direnv for my side projects. This was quick and easy to get started with and has been great. Would recommend anyone look into it via the link below.
Engineering teams use our SDK to automate cloud access controls. We have a few happy early customers and design partners who love the product. It's time to get the word out.
We're looking for our first marketing hire to help us tell the world about Sym.
Sym helps developers build access flows for their infrastructure resources using code. The Sym SDK makes it easy to create workflows for things like temporary access to an S3 bucket or moving a user between Okta groups, which you can then expose in a Slack UI for your team members to use right in their existing channels.
One thing that might be of interest is that I explore a way to determine IAM actions needed to execute Terraform by first running it against LocalStack.
I don't think he's blaming HN to the point where he's shirking responsibility for what he did. I read this post as a clever way to get play on HN which will help him get some of his stars/watchers back.
We’re looking for engineers to help us build out our Python SDK, CLI and Terraform Provider used by our customers to define security workflows as code. We help engineers build automations that improve their security posture and make developers lives easier.
Things that are important to us include: building awesome developer experiences, helping engineering teams become more secure and being kind to each other.
We’re looking for engineers to help us build out our Python SDK, compiler and runtime used by our customers to define security workflows as code. We provide building blocks for our customers to develop automation that both genuinely improve security posture and make developers lives easier.
In the past year we’ve raised two rounds of funding and in the past few months we’ve signed several amazing customers.
Things that are important to us include: building a diverse team and inclusive culture, building awesome developer experiences and helping engineering teams improve security.

This makes so much sense. With Salesforce or HubSpot, I usually end up pulling data into Google Sheets to get the answers I need. Demand Sage feels like the right level of flexibility and automation.
Sym empowers engineers to create the perfect security and privacy workflows for their teams. Building unobtrusive controls that make sense should be easy. We provide building blocks that keep you compliant without getting in your way.
Concretely, we have built a large set of workflow templates that align with controls required for compliance standards like HIPAA and SOC 2. We expose these with a Terraform provider that allows infra/SecEng teams to customize them with a library of integrations using our Python SDK. These teams get the benefits of customized workflows, without having to build or maintain anything.
We love talking with folks who appreciate great developer experience and would be interested in helping us create one.
We care deeply about building a workforce and culture that is inclusive and equitable for people of all backgrounds and experiences. Because of this, we particularly encourage people from communities that tend to be underrepresented to apply.
