Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I thought this was worthy of it's own post rather than a sneery comment. Astral make UV which at this point is a load bearing part of the python software ecosystem. This could have a huge knock on effect on the open source community.

I for one can't wait for non-deterministic package management

uv has a CLAUDE.md since January. Sooo, back to pip it is?

There is poetry for package management. Apparently uv is substantially faster at solving package dependencies although poetry is more feature rich. (I've only used poetry, so I know it is adequate, but I have had times I've sat there for minutes or even tens of minutes while it worked through installing all the right versions of all the right libraries.)

yeah the dep resolution and instance management being snappy as hell are big reasons why people went for uv, but I suspect this will now get reevaluated (it should’ve been earlier)

pdm is what you want afaik btw, poetry is outclassed for a while now

(and that I even had to type that second bit is a big bit of my gripe with python in the last decade)
