mkShell over mkDerivation

[turboMaCk]

Hi 👋

First of all, I have to say this is a very nice introduction series. I've shared it with some colleagues.

Anyway, I think on some places there is unnecessary usage of mkDerivation in order to provide shell where mkShell from nixpkgs would be more appropriate (as it doesn't require name specified).

Thanks for that @turboMaCk! That sounds like a good change to make 👍 I didn't know about mkShell before.

Adding Nixpkgs issue #58624 because it provides a good summary on mkShell. Thank you for putting the time and effort into your posts!
