  • Personally, I’ve found Poetry somewhat painful for developing medium-sized or larger applications (which I guess Python really isn’t made for to begin with, but yeah).

    Big problem is that its dependency resolution is probably a magnitude slower than it should be. Anytime we changed something about the dependencies, you’d wait for more than a minute on its verdict. Which is particularly painful, when you have to resolve version conflicts.

    Other big pain point is that it doesn’t support workspaces or multi-project builds or whatever you want to call them, so where you can have multiple related applications or libraries in the same repo and directly depending on each other, without needing to publish a version of the libraries each time you make a change.

    When we started our last big Python project, none of the Python tooling supported workspaces out of the box. Now, there’s Rye, which does so. But yeah, I don’t have experience yet, with how well it works.







  • Ah, yeah, I don’t think there was anything in the app. I guess, they could’ve mentioned it in the changelog, which gets shown in the app by default after an update.

    But yeah, I think we’ll have to excuse a bit of a bumpy ride here. I know, it says “Mozilla” on there now, but to my knowledge, it’s still just the one core dev…








  • Hmm, it’s been a few years since I’ve run Fedora, but that’s an experience also still stuck in my head from that time.

    I always figured, Linux had just gotten better at that, because I switched to a more up-to-date distro afterwards, but in retrospect, it’s not like Fedora is terribly out of date, so maybe that is just a weird configuration on Fedora…
