I guess this is why people need to get out of this “Python dev” or “JS dev” mindset and try other languages to see why those coming to Python complain so much about dependency management.

People complain because the experience is less confusing in many other languages. Think Go, Rust, or even JS. All the tooling chaos and virtual environment jujitsu are real deterrents for newcomers. And it’s not just beginners complaining about Python tooling. Industry veterans like Armin Ronacher do that all the time.

uv is a great step in the right direction, but the issue is that as long as the basic tooling isn’t built into the language binary, like Go’s tools or Rust’s Cargo, more tools will pop up and fragment the space even further.

I think commenters here are missing out on one beneficial part of social media - Facebook groups and communities of interest especially private, moderated groups. Broadcast and discussions are a perfect use case for it.

And people talk about how bad Facebook is, LinkedIn is far worse. Everyone is trying to be a “thought leader” and no one is genuine on it.

I have a decent LinkedIn Profile with recommendations, up to date career information. But I never post to it.

I’m only really active when I’m looking for a job. I will respond to messages and try to keep my network somewhat warm.

Ngl if I were Zuckerberg I'd be doing the exact same thing. I feel like the majority of people are severely underestimating the impact this last election will have and still are in denial. If you think he's doing the wrong thing it's cause you don't know what the consequences will be if he doesn't do this.
