I come back to a project that was working and find it's hard to get going again (can't even compile fully)

Going back to some years old Haskell projects and quickly learning to consider ease of longevity by using things like "tested with" or whatever and cabal freeze and nix lock. Weird to me that I have to do so must work figuring out which ghc to use and getting it to compile again.

Any tips for best practices going forward?
