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.”
Also Blueberries has been discontinued, but don’t worry, it’s forked on this other super obscure repo and you need to configure your package manager to accept that as a source.
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
This is why I gave up and started using docker. I don’t have time to fight with this shit anymore. I resisted for a long time and for the life of my I cannot remember why because it’s been great lol.

Same. Every Python app in its own container. Of course, this raises the skill bar again.
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
