I agree that dockerfile's are not very reproducible. But honestly, that's not how most people use it. I believe most people just pull the already built image which is very reproducible. Anyways, I found this video interesting and thought I'd share it and get your guys thoughts.

@natecox It is exactly this steep learning curve that pushed me away from nix and NixOS.

It's amazing what it can do but I just do not have the time and commitment to learn it. In the end, nix should be a tool and not a skill to master.
