I agree that adding every package to my NixOS configuration isn't the right way to do things, and I should definitely use a devshell or
nix-shell -p $package
for that. However, it's much more noticeable when I'm working with something like an HTTP server, constantly adding new things to the config, and needing to wait 25 seconds to actually test it.
