 asymmetric | * i think this is subjective. i really like flakes and for my usecases, they have almost completely replaced the stable tooling. but the other problems still stand (e.g. missing feature parity), and it is factually still experimental, so I think we should focus on that, rather than value judgements | 18:34:42 |
 John Ericson | opinions are somewhat inevitable for writing tutorials not reference docs | 18:35:06 |
| John Ericson | the fact here is that flakes are unstable and unstable has to mean something | 18:35:23 |
| John Ericson | Flakes creating problems as fast as they solve problems I suppose could be an opinion | 18:36:18 |
| John Ericson | but we can focus on the above an ignore that | 18:36:24 |
| John Ericson | if we want to stick to "facts" and avoid "opinions" | 18:36:40 |

the fact here is that flakes are unstable and unstable has to mean something yeah fully agreed on that. which i think is why we decided to draw the line there for nix.dev 🙂 | 18:36:42 |

| asymmetric | the corollary is that once they're stabilized, we should imo just go ahead and document them on nix.dev, even though some of us will still disagree with them on a design level | 18:37:53 |
