Hi, Sorry, Nix is deprecated, and we are currently building with Earthly. We will update the documentation to correctly document the best way to develop and test.

[jmgilman]

I'm going to create a separate issue for tracking documentation. #515 solves the immediate problem of the devshell being broken.
