I'm **RELIEVED** to get this off my chest. It'll take a few days to tell the whole story, but it is time to share Determinate. It's Nix, with more opinions and less complexity. It's what every one of my customers wanted when I was consulting. x.com/DeterminateSys/status/…

Replying to @DeterminateSys
Let's kick it off. Announcing: Determinate Nix. buff.ly/4eOCxw7 Easy binary cache configuration, better hardware support, and more. It "does the right thing" in more places, most of the time.
