Python Meetup / 10.2.

Speaker: Tomislav Maričević

Title: Nix ❤️ Python: Maybe you don't need devcontainers after all

Life is too short to wait for Docker image rebuilds during everyday development. This talk shows how Nix and devenv provide deterministic, host-native development environments that model compilers, runtimes, system libraries, and tooling as a reproducible dependency graph — eliminating much of the toolchain complexity developers often push into Docker and Docker Compose. We will compare the failure modes each approach addresses, demonstrate where devenv can replace Compose in local workflows, and clarify where containers remain the correct abstraction.

Join us on Tuesday at MaMa for a fun technical deep dive. Drinks and, most likely, very opinionated discussion afterwards at Old Pharmacy Pub 🍻🍷🥤☕️
