Flox powers @resolveai's dev environments.

The team triaging production incidents for the world’s biggest companies can now run the same setup locally, in CI, and in prod.

https://t.co/yRnXiq95n4 supports distributed teams across 100+ countries. But growth exposed familiar problems:

⚠️ Inconsistent dev environments
⚠️ “Works on my machine” failures
⚠️ Slower onboarding + rising release risk

With Flox, Fellow standardized reproducible environments across the SDLC without changing how engineers work.

Result: faster onboarding, higher velocity, fewer fire drills, and a more reliable path from dev → CI → prod.

“Flox gives us a dependable foundation so we can move fast with tight feedback loops.” — Samuel Cormier-Iijima, CTO & Co-Founder

Case study in comments.

@gregbradyx Long live the groups from Toronto who’ll book round-trip flights to Vancouver + hotels + expenses, and still end up paying less than they would for a match in Toronto.

CVE remediation is a dependency-graph problem. Scanning attempts to infer from built artifacts.

Flox/Nix derive artifacts + runtimes from the causal dependency graph. Remediation = dbms lookup + declarative edit: identify artifacts/envs, pin a replacement ref, promote.

Conversations like this remind me that many of today’s most successful companies truly begin with that first engineering hire, the unsung heroes behind the scenes.

Really enjoyed chatting with @karanganesan and sharing his story.

@jessfraz @jarredsumner @charliermarsh @mitsuhiko @dhh I started https://t.co/dz3v4SzjVa to profile founding engineers at awesome companies digging into how they built complex systems, made tough architectural decisions, and scaled from 0. But it's not a podcast... yet!

Saw a tweet about the lunch @cognition, so I dropped a comment asking if there was a kosher option.

Two days later, Max Martin from Cognition AI’s NYC office reached out and invited me in for a kosher lunch and a tefillin wrap with the Jewish team.

We ended up getting a full minyan 10 guys putting on tefillin together.

What started as a comment turned into something really meaningful.

Pictures below.
