I’ve been iterating and abstracting a project layout tool into just the right thing for about a decade.

It’s like remix and all those frontend bootstrap wizards/tools, but it bootstraps projects in any language with my preferences.

It prompts me to ask if it should fetch my favorite deps (Requests for Python, or my own go CLI builder since Cobra is to bloated and complex for my needs) depending on the language I’m using for the project. I don’t always need them but I can get them in place fast.

IMO using everyone else’s tools is boring. I don’t see a blacksmith getting tongs from another blacksmith. I can’t hope to be an expert if I just import experts code. Seeing something like bash and being expected to believe that means anything when I can just write my own; those old guys made syntax art which actually just made “computing” hard. That was job security as much as anything.

Too many people don’t realize listening to others tell you not to do X is just giving them a monopoly.
