NixCon 2024

Tobias Mayer

Graduated with a "Diplom" in CS from the FAU Erlangen in Germany. Worked in video coding research at an institute that should not be named for a few years before going into the industry.
Discovered Nix while exploring Haskell at that time and immediately fell in love. Opened my first PRs to nixpkgs in 2018 and became a regular but low-frequency contributor.
Currently working as a Programmer/Architect at a data-focussed Cybersecurity startup in Hamburg, where I introduced Nix to manage development environments and as a tool to build static binaries for distribution.

Introducing nix-make
Tobias Mayer

nix-make[1] is a C and C++ build system supporting incremental compilation. It
implements a thin layer of dependency graph construction in nixlang and lets
Nix do the heavy lifting.
