If you get an error that a file can't be found, always try to `git add` the file before trying other troubleshooting steps. + Never `grep` or `find` over the entire `/nix/store`, this is wasteful and will usually turn up weird results or will timeout. ## Implementation When sketching out an implementation of something, always look for tools that already exist in the space first before implementing something custom. This is also the case when it comes to submodules and sections of code, I don't want you to implement things in-house when it isn't needed.
