    I have misread "in person" as "in prison" several times today, and it's made a lot of innocuous remarks far more dramatic.

    Doing what you already know how to do is usually the right choice, but if you have an opportunity to take a shot at trying a new way (i.e. you're not betting the farm on it), go for it! If you don't stretch your boundaries every once in a while, they'll tighten up on you.

    Why are so many modules in the aeson package not exposed? Has anyone received a bug report from someone complaining that definitions in an Internal module changed? I've had some crumby bug reports, but never one of those.

    I consistently find Python to be the hardest ecosystem to use with nixpkgs, while its more standard tools (e.g. virtualenv) actually work okay. It's as though there is destructive tension between the millions of hours put into mainstream Python tooling and what nix wants to do.

    Blew nearly an hour by accidentally transposing two identically-typed arguments to a function. Rub some types on it and get back out there!
