VS Code SSH extension (with errorlens and shellcheck/pylance) literally changed my life. I cannot praise that shit enough.

Nah why dont you guys just have a separate VPS for each individual project and just sudo install every python package?

Yeah but is it really worse than python3-venv like some people act like it is? I just don’t see it.

thats when you do

/usr/bin/python3.11 -m pip install

mother. fucking. hardcoded paths. 1 step forward, 10 steps backward.

Yessssss

I actually wrote a script to make a folder an instant pipenv environment for me. Add it to your ./.zshrc. Has saved me a ton of time, I just removed some spaghetti lines that would reinstall pip and shit because it’s when I was still early days into Py dev, now I work more with Py than I do C# and I’m a senior C# engineer, I just enjoy the masochism of py.

Also added a check for Arch/Ubu.
