      I've been looking more into [the dendritic pattern for Nix code][0].

      I understood the concept, but wasn't sure how to implement it and refactor my existing configuration.

      I've recently bought a pre-owned computer that I'm going to be adding to my homelab, and this seemed like an opportunity to experiment with the pattern in a new environment.

      What I have is [in this repository][1].

      Each file is its own Nix module, including the NixOS configurations and packages such as Vim and tmux.

      This was a great experiment, and I'm going to continue looking into how to implement this in [my existing Nix configuration][2].
