New post: what if you could perform early-cutoff and skip Nix builds before even starting them, with a little bit of dynamic tracing? Also: how to make things like Nix's ca-derivations sound.

This isn't just about Nix, it's a more general idea that build systems could do to improve artifact reuse (and reproducibility) by more precisely identifying dependencies while still remaining sound and hermetic.
