This is a recommended macro on development environments: https://gist.github.com/CMCDragonkai/8d91e90c47d810cffe7e65af15a6824c

This filters out some unwanted artifacts (temporary files, git data…).

How are you imaginging this being updated? I don't expect to maintain or bump a hash. If the aim is for this to be an alternative to using the Makefile during local iteration/development, vendorHash seems counter to quick iteration

The vendor hash must be set per release tag because they are releases.
You can also set vendorHash to null in the main branch but nix-build won’t work out of the box because go mod vendor must be run first.

For an in-project development Nix config, I think the config should just build from the local source. As in, if you edit some Go files or dependencies locally, running nix-build should just build it without someone having to fiddle with hashes. I'd prefer real releases and vendor pinning be done in upstream nixpkgs.

Do you see a usage story that aligns with this or no?

Sounds fair.
