Who Killed the Build? 💀

A Halloween DevTools Murder Mystery with Flox

The build is dead. The cause? Unknown.

Join AI Valley and Flox for a Halloween devtools night where you’ll investigate what went wrong, follow the clues, and figure out who (or what) killed the build.

Instead of a traditional product demo, Flox will take us through an interactive investigation of a broken development environment. Along the way, you’ll uncover suspicious dependencies, environment issues, and other clues before making your final guess.

Flox is a developer tool that creates reproducible, hash-pinned software environments across laptops, CI pipelines, and production. It eliminates environment drift by using a single configuration file to lock exact software versions everywhere. Flox is powered by the Nix package manager, but simplifies the experience so users do not have to write Nix code directly.
