This is just for love. And having fun with the models. Indirectly our amazing customers who help pay the bills / tokens.
I still have lots of ideas I want to try out. Create a new frontend for monorepos. Add better build provenance tracking. Next step is to integrate with nixbot

Try github.com/nixcloud/cargo/bl… as it could help with the disk space problem for rust.

if you're building a new nix interpreter as well, we can share the conformance test suite: github.com/numtide/nix-confo… . It would be nice to standardize the language.

Sometimes the funniest moments happen when the cameras are rolling and the actors have absolutely no idea what’s coming. While filming Scary Movie 5 (2013), the crew reportedly decided to prank Ashley Tisdale by secretly asking an extra to perform a stunt in the most awkward and over-the-top way possible.
Ashley tried desperately to stay in character as the ridiculous performance unfolded, but keeping a straight face became nearly impossible. Then came the perfectly timed camera zoom, which finally pushed her over the edge and made the moment even funnier.
Looking back, Ashley joked, “I did my best, but that camera zoom got me.” It was one of those hilarious behind-the-scenes moments where an unexpected prank and a genuine reaction created something no script could have planned.

Excited to announce that I'm launching a new startup, @LilithSemi , together with Sebastian Kraus! 🚀
With Lilith Semi, we're building open-source tools for hardware development and security-critical infrastructure.
Our first release is Chock, a security-first harness for AI coding agents.
Since 2026, AI agents have become good at tasks beyond simple web development. As companies start dealing with real workflows, enterprises, especially in regulated industries, are becoming more conscious about how they handle sensitive data.
I've been dealing with supply chain security for a while, and one thing I've learned is how important it is to work with safe AI harnesses. When you're dealing with sensitive data, the risk simply isn't worth it.
That's why Chock sandboxes AI agents in a using standard sandboxing primitives.
We're currently working on micro-VMs as the next step.
👉 Check it out: chock.ws
And if you're at NixCon 2026 in Kraków, come find us and let's talk.

Some experiments we've been working on - blog.thalheim.io/2026/09/23/…
> out of 360909 crates.io dependencies, only 44248 are unique crates.io dependencies, meaning there is a huge set of crates which are compiled with an identical configuration
Just published an impact study: cargo+libnix could cut rust crate rebuilds in nixpkgs by ~8× by sharing identical dep builds.
Faster CI, quicker onboarding, less waste.

I feel left out not at #nixcon2026 and everyone talking about dynamic derivations in #nix
I wanted to put another item in the mix

Everyone is focused on lang2nix but they still know the build graph up front.
Monadic build systems means you can make it up as you go.

Launched a new fun #nix project for no purpose other than it being interesting and fun
seenix.dev/ lets you visualize Nix closures
