I literally have not had Python just break on me, and after decades of software development at various places using Python/Java/Javascript I would say it is rare these days to see it happen to other people in the team either.
It usually happens when someone decides to experiment with a different way of handing application versioning that they saw on HN, but they aren't actually experienced enough to test it in a sandboxed environment. Essentially breaking their computer in a new way that no one else on the team can help, and that Google won't give you any help with.
I would say that the person you are replying to is probably inexperienced and doesn't want to learn their tools.
Exactly. That problem doesn't exist anymore in the JVM ecosystem. You can literally just install intellij and open some random project. It will download the jdk, the build system, all your dependencies, everything. It works on every OS, every time. It doesn't break across OS upgrades.
This is a language/tooling issue, not a local Vs remote issue even though it may seem that way to people using languages that are only barely working on non-Linux systems.
