Never thought to see if Jane Street had a YouTube or if they had programming related stuff but here we are thanks to you! Makes sense they do, and that it’s python related.
I don’t know why I keep submitting myself to hacker news but every few months I get the itch, and it only takes a few minutes to be turned off by the cynicism. I get that it’s from potentialy wizened tech heads who have been in the trenches and are being realistic. It’s great for that, but any new bright eyed and bushy tailed dev/techy, whatever, should stay far away until much later in their journey
Python is fun again!! Omg it’s like when I first started with python before I knew all the pitfalls that were coming. Uv just makes it work again(unaware of all uv pitfalls atm, don’t spoil it for me yet:)
Not worth trying to drag folks with this mindset into the future. The way I see his workflow(and I do get it, I’m stubborn with some financial stuff), is same way he sees using uv and other new stuff. I agree uv is real deal and will be around for awhile. It has totally reignited my love of writing python. I will say, the love of uv on hacker news has surprised me. I was expecting a lot more replies like theirs.
Yeah me too. HN tends to be quite stuck-in-the-mud heavy (e.g. the you often see this in discussions around Rust).
Tbf I kind of understand his point of view - there have been many many failed attempts to fix Python tooling and it's easy to expect uv to be just another failed attempt.
I think it says a lot about just how bad the situation before uv was that even HN is positive about it.
