Not even a year. May as well hook the nix org up to a steam generator to make use of all the human resources they burn thru.

Reminds me of those old disruption tactics for occupied territories: drag everything through committees, micromanage and obstruct, make everyone's work just that much little bit harder than it needs to be...

It's doubly tough because I can see where a lot of people are coming from on some issues, but others feel like they shouldn't be issues at all. Mostly just a systemic failure, as they said. Good communication is hard to accomplish: boundaries and expectations and all that; even harder when the framework and environment works against you.

Sad to hear of more churn. Wishing them (and their future replacements) much good luck.

Who would the fifth column be working for in this case? Guix?

I can think of a few people upset with Nix proper... But no, I don't think it's intentional; just that the result is similar.

I like your take, but probally against Nixos military sponsors like Anduril. Lots of people don't care for the Nix association with the various defense contractors.
