The development half of my stack: Nix for reproducible software on any distro, git as the decentralized transport, and just as the one command surface humans, AI agents, and CI all share. Local-first, and no containers for development.
The engine behind this blog: a small Rust binary wrapped by a Nix flake, built as a compiler toolchain — compile each post, link cross-references, compose the site. Nix is the config language and the build cache; there is no YAML.
The colophon: this blog is a small content-and-theme instance wrapping the niche engine in a thirty-line Nix flake. What lives here, what lives in niche, and the design principles.
