You may be right overall, but in this case it looks more like a revenge from an individual that was screwed by the company
Basically, this. One more reason to hide away from anyone watching you input the code
They saw him, but arguing that otherwise they would have gotten a warrant to compel him, so it's legit
Oh, it's this ‘let's call absolutely different things or even polar opposites the same name’ trope again, I hate it. Thanks for digging it up and informing us
Dude is clearly speedrunning something
But that's so much less fun as a headline!
Oh, the #4 is clear pretty much as usual
I think, it's based on an old flake-compat package or something. It's not inherently bad, but it displays what I dislike the most about Nix design, it's very opaque and magical until you go out of your way to understand it.
The globals are another example of this, I know I can do with something; [ other ] but I am never sure if other comes from something or not. And if it's a package parameter, the values also come seemingly out of nowhere.
Sometimes it's also the updates, rolling back a failed update is much simpler with Nix even if it took some elaborate set-up. This might be not wildly useful but it happens more often than spinning up a new machine entirely
Personally I use flakes.
On the work we use an abomination that creates flake.lock but then parses it and uses to pin versions, it took me a while to realise this is why setting a flake input to something local never seemed to have any effect, for instance

I was lucky to eventually get the lost bags instead of a useless payment when my bags were lost
