As such, adoption comes at an immediate cost of productivity. Team members who know Nix find themselves preoccupied providing support and the emergence of anti-patterns adds technical debt. What's worse; morale is affected. But, with training, these costs can be all but elimitated. Founded by my friend and mentor Jacek Galowicz, Nixcademy have brought hundreds of team members up to speed with Nix. It's what they do. So, liberate your Nix experts, prevent technical debt and get on top of Nix and back to work better and sooner. Visit nixcademy.com. Jacek tells me that most Nixcademy clients returned their investment in training in under three months. They also provide free educational content that I recommend and a newsletter that I subscribe to. nixcademy.com.
