+# Questions
+
+
+## do you deal with config files such as emacs-custom.el, some which have sensitive data?
+
+
+### Sensitive data is in other directories that aren't shared, and emacs-custom.el is completely avoided, as it prevents reproducible/system independent behaviour
+
+
+## how did you learn nix language basics? Just from the the manual?
+
+
+### He referred to the nix IRC channel
+
+
+## What are the main advantages besides switching computers (which most people rarely do)?
+
+
+### Make parts of config available for projects - sharing with other people
+
+
+## Have you tried Guix in place of Nix? (more parens! :) :)
+
+
+### Currently trying it, and also in-process of switching from Nix to Guix.
+
+
+# Notes
+
+
+## Emacs configuration is entangled with the system configuration (dired uses ls, grep.el uses grep)
+
+
+### Reproducible behaviour is therefore not only dependent of Emacs compilation/configuration, but also system configuration.
+
+
+### "config.el" files configure emacs, and accompanying "default.nix" files make sure that the correct packages/fonts/libraries/etc are installed
+
+
+## reproducible development environment: <https://github.com/abcdw/rde>
+
+
+## using Org-roam to demo how to config a Nix layer(?)
+
+
+### custom.el conflicts with Nix(?)
