    What’s annoying is when the build is not just “git pull then run python main.py”

    And it’s like “compile this using this special library no one else uses called Blueberries, then wrong it through Rust v4.8279 (no other version works), then it will output a blob of text to copy the API key from that you put in this other special compiler, and if you mess up any of these steps it is all permanently irreversible. Also the person making the code forgot like 3 random steps in there because it’s second nature, duuuh.”

      99% of the time you need to install pip packages and if you do this without venv/uv/conda you’re sort of fucking up your python install for other repos you’re running from source

        Ubuntu doesn’t even let you not use a venv without extra effort these days. I kind of appreciate it getting me into better habbits
