I discover this pretty late, the slides are insightful!

You mention functional overlap between Jenkins and Guix somewhere, and I
can see that, mostly when it comes with scheduling (the same sort of
problem shows up in Cuirass and in the Build Coordinator, mostly because
guix-daemon makes opaque scheduling/offloading decisions.)

The motivating example is interesting.  Do you find that ‘guix pull’ and
‘guix time-machine’ serve you well for CI, or are they too slow?
Perhaps you pin the ‘guix’ channel?

Oh so you also use Guix-Jupyter?  I’m interested in whatever feedback
you may have.  :-)

Thanks for sharing!
