Two years ago, the Mac was the awkward special case for Linux builds. Today, my MacBook outbuilds my Linux machines. 🤯

We just got merged a new Linux builder backend into nixpkgs that runs on Apple's Virtualization.framework and exposes Rosetta to the guest VM.

The results on Apple Silicon:

⚡ x86_64-linux builds are 2.5x faster than QEMU emulation
📦 Builder closure shrinks from 3.2 GiB to 1.2 GiB
🚀 VM boots 2x faster
🧪 Nested virtualization: NixOS integration tests with /dev/kvm now run on your Mac (M3+)

And the best part: it's a drop-in replacement. If you use nix-darwin, switching is literally two extra lines in your configuration.

Under the hood is vzvm, a purpose-built VM monitor in ~1000 lines of Swift with zero external dependencies. No bootloader, no disk image juggling, no network configuration. It does exactly what a Nix remote builder needs — and nothing else.

The fun part of the story: building x86_64 NixOS systems and deploying them remotely is now faster from my Mac than from my aarch64 Linux machines, because Rosetta beats QEMU's software emulation hands down.

Full write-up with setup instructions, benchmarks, and how it works under the hood:

🚀 Oh joy, another *riveting* interactive tour for Go 1.27, because reading endless lists of products and blocked widgets is exactly what developers crave for inspiration. 🙄 Instead of learning Go, let's embark on a magical journey through redundant menus and privacy settings. 🤡

Je suis retombé sur cette vidéo qui montre et qui enseigne les perspectives. Quel serait un bon titre pour cette vidéo ?

• Perspectives: from userstories to coders
• How it feels to use IA
• SNAFU
• Teaching Claude how to make a PB&J sandwich
• Why don't developers read documentation? It's so important.

#AI is reshaping #SoftwareEngineering!

As non-engineers use AI to build working prototypes, technical implementation alone is no longer enough.

In this #InfoQ talk, Ben Greene explains why engineers need to rethink their role - and how adopting a startup mindset can help them create greater value in the AI era.

Most Internal Developer Platforms don't fail because of technology - they fail because they're treated as infrastructure instead of products.

In this talk, Max Körbächer explains why successful platform engineering requires a product mindset, focusing on developer experience, community, and meaningful metrics like DevEx and SPACE - not just tooling.
