Just wrapped up a blog post about my recent experience contributing to NixOS and nixpkgs. It was great to help bring Drupal to such a unique a Linux distribution and that experience helped me learn a ton about reproducible operating systems design.
It also helped me realize that using NixOS as a all-in-one solution for building and deploying simple webservers could be a big win for the web and web publishers if implemented correctly.
