<p>We're using it in the same way - running NixOS on robots.<p>Overall I think it is succeeding, though it definitely doesn't 'just work' out of the box. We've invested a fair bit of effort into things like:<p>- containerised services[1]<p>- UI for branch deployment/service management<p>- delta patching (at the byte level, to save bandwidth)<p>The main problem was always that nixlang/nixpkgs are arcane and have a steep learning curve. The majority of your colleagues (in any workplace) don't care about build systems and just want things to work. I think that has been more or less solved by LLMs, and it's now more viable than ever to adopt Nix.<p>[1] <a href="https://bou.ke/blog/nixos-containers/" rel="nofollow">https://bou.ke/blog/nixos-containers/</a></p>

<p>A lot of employer pensions will have limited fund options. (At least in the UK, maybe the US works differently.)<p>Quite likely that the only sensible one for most people (~global equities) will track S&P 500 internally. So essentially employees are being forced to hold whatever the index includes.<p>Hopefully it's less of a problem with Nasdaq, but it was a real worry.</p>

<p>The reply to that LinkedIn message is exemplary of Eurostar corporate culture.

Perhaps they will become a bit more customer-focused then.</p>

We are currently developing and manufacturing our autonomous bricklaying system in the beautiful centre of Amsterdam. And our robots are already earning real revenue operating on construction sites all over the Netherlands.<p>We're looking for experienced FULL-STACK ENGINEERS who can help us solve problems like:<p>- Data sync and analytics queries across a fleet of robots (that can be offline for hours at a time)<p>- Rapid deployment and iteration of experimental software changes across firmware, control software and UI<p>- Modelling buildings in code and finding the right UI for operators to edit them<p>Check out the progress we've already made on Atrium, our operating system for robotics: <a href="https://www.monumental.co/atrium" rel="nofollow">https://www.monumental.co/atrium</a><p>We're rapidly scaling up operations and we need experienced, generalist engineers who can build the systems that manage all of that complexity. If you think that 'full-stack' could reasonably mean debugging firmware, mixing buckets of mortar _and_ writing React components, we are looking for you. Robotics experience not required!<p><a href="https://www.monumental.co/jobs" rel="nofollow">https://www.monumental.co/jobs</a></p>
