Oh no! My very embarrassing talk where I was missing that magic 1 or 2
packages from my manifest and then everything fell apart. I think I need
to watch it again myself and then try redoing it at home.

This is the big part. I have a setup that works reasonably well for me
and I haven't done a good job sharing it with others so they can see
some of the other options.

IIRC one of the big things I wanted to show was using ctags with Guix to
jump quickly between packages or to other definitions. Right now the
tags make target is a stub, I (or someone else even) should see about
adjusting that so 'make tags' works for the project.
