Nixcademy ad transcript:

Statistically speaking, Nix is a novel technology.
As such, adoption comes at an immediate cost of productivity.
Team members who know Nix find themselves preoccupied providing support
and the emergence of anti-patterns adds technical debt.
What's worse; morale is affected.

But, with training, these costs can be all but elimitated.
Founded by my friend and mentor Jacek Galowicz,
Nixcademy have brought hundreds of team members up to speed with Nix.
It's what they do.

So, liberate your Nix experts,
prevent technical debt
and get on top of Nix and back to work better and sooner.
Visit nixcademy.com.

Jacek tells me that most Nixcademy clients returned their investment in training in under three months.
They also provide free educational content that I recommend and a newsletter that I subscribe to.

Mentoring ad transcript:

Hey, you. Do you need help with Nix, NixOS, home-manager, flakes, flake-parts, dendritic, dev-shells, packaging, the Nix language, Nixpkgs, the module system, software development or maybe Rust?
I'm sure you can figure it out. But, you could pay the dime to cut the time.
Pay me! I'll teach you and guide you through whatever shenanigans you've gotten yourself into.
For 1-on-1 mentoring sessions with me visit mightyi.am.
