devenv is a Nix-based tool for fast, declarative, reproducible developer environments.

My contributions sit in the unglamorous-but-important zone:

  • added the services.mosquitto module, tests, and documentation
  • worked on the MongoDB module, including services.mongodb.replication
  • improved RabbitMQ port allocation for distribution and EPMD ports
  • fixed process watching so processes do not restart on meaningless file events
  • tightened dynamic port allocation and eval-cache behavior
  • added regression tests around port allocation across repositories

This is the kind of open source I like: fewer papercuts, better defaults, more confidence when switching between projects.
