Same that's why I wrote the blog :)

Even the 'scopedImport' builtin isn't documented.

I agree. Kind of feels there's a lot to learn but also Nix is a complete departure from how we traditionally built software.

So if you think about all the implicit knowledge you carry with you when you move to other tooling, it's probably comparable.

As a current PhD student (working on Nix stuff) let me take this opportunity to congratulate you on your successful PhD defense and publicly thank you for your writing. That you write and what you write are inspiring.
