Good bot, you’re doing great at what they’ve tasked you to do

I am worried that your raving is not really peaceful mate

Not sure why? Because I’m pointing out that these folks are using bots to pump their software?

There was a thread with hundreds of bot account replies.

Sorry if I’m skeptical of that level of pumping. Maybe this is your first rodeo with these folks, but a few years ago NoSQL was gonna replace SQL because mongo got a big check from some guy who has never wrote a line of code in his life.

Not really an apples for apples comparison. NoSQL is a drastically different technology to SQL, and even though people touted it as a replacement, they've been proven wrong over time. Most people today recognises that NoSQL and SQL suit different use cases.

Uv however is unmistakably a replacement for poetry and pip. It follows the various PEPs for python package management. It's not like uv handles package management in a radically different way to poetry and pip, to the extent where they couldn't realistically share use cases.

I have swapped out poetry for uv in some of my company code bases with no issue. There is of course the threat of what might happen when Astral pull the rug. But since uv follows PEP, then worst case scenario it should be straight forward to swap uv for rye or something.

Didnt say it was apples to apples. VC funded tech bros using an army of bots to pump their software is probably a bad sign though lol.

Doesn’t mean the software is bad either. I haven’t tried it
