I got a new Chromebook from work, and had VSCode+Docker running an existing Postgres+Django+etc dev environment in literally 15 minutes. I was shocked. Devcontainers are magic, and poor Python DX is a skill issue.
- porridgeraisin 2y ago> Poor Python DX is a skill issue Oh yes, the language whose ecosystem only hears about backwards compatibility in their own death marches? Not their problem. It's the developers, it's _their_ problem. Not the standard library which _removes_ packages, breaking code which I recently cloned. See "imp". And not the next python version, which throws a syntax error on bare excepts, breaking old code for absolutely zero benefit beyond pretending to be a linter.
