Not worth trying to drag folks with this mindset into the future. The way I see his workflow(and I do get it, I’m stubborn with some financial stuff), is same way he sees using uv and other new stuff. I agree uv is real deal and will be around for awhile. It has totally reignited my love of writing python. I will say, the love of uv on hacker news has surprised me. I was expecting a lot more replies like theirs.

Yeah me too. HN tends to be quite stuck-in-the-mud heavy (e.g. the you often see this in discussions around Rust).

Tbf I kind of understand his point of view - there have been many many failed attempts to fix Python tooling and it's easy to expect uv to be just another failed attempt.

I think it says a lot about just how bad the situation before uv was that even HN is positive about it.
