 Following is a subset of the many places I've learnt from. Most important of all are Doom Emacs and Faye's Wishsys.

-The beloved Faye's Wishsys is an incredibly impressive 3-kloc NixOS config with several hosts, users, and a beautiful level of modularity.

Faye and her config are entirely responsible for inspiring and motivating my effort expent here, as well as being a wonderful reference as I re-learnt Nix from the ground up.
