While this is true, it is often stunning to me how long it took to get to `uv run`.
I have worked with Python on and off for 20+ years and I _always_ dreaded working with any code base that had external packages or a virtual environment.
`uv run` changed that and I migrated every code base at my last job to it. But it was too late for my personal stuff - I already converted or wrote net new code in Go.
I am on the fence about Python long term. I’ve always preferred typed languages and with the advent of LLM-assisted coding, that’s even more important for consistency.
I think it does for a substantial portion, especially those with more traditionally aligned values. We know families, through our extended social groups, that would cringe at the Skibidi Toilet stuff.
I'm not sure why? At least some part of it, I suspect, is related to the "outrage economy". That is, outrage that can drive social media engagement. You don't do it because you're, in good faith, bothered by it. You do it because you can raise a stink and rally others to engage and make yourself popular.
That last bit is just a theory of mine. It seems anecdotally supported though from my own observation, but I am not a sociologist so I'm not going to claim any expertise here.
For sure. Im the parent of a couple Gen Alpha kids on the younger side. I showed the skibidi toilet videos to my wife and her response was a shrug and “looks like dumb videos we watched in college”.
But as other posters say, not everyone was into that corner of internet culture as millennials. Especially the weirder offshoots.
Well my trip to Costco make infinitely more sense. I saw these 3 foot tall dolls for sale of the camera head characters. They were titled “skibidi toilet titans” but I was only familiar with the song mashups, not the web series.
Kids are always gonna love stuff that pisses off their parents. It’s just part of parenting and being a kid. My parents hated my love for the weird shows on Adult Swim like metalocalypse and squidbillies.
Big shrug - no one should be surprised this portrays a non-narrative future. The future feels pretty chaotic and undirected to me as an adult. I can’t imagine how it feels to a 12 year old.
I empathize with this. I’m similar to your son - no amount of practice ever made me faster or “more prepared”.
I’ve learned to accept it and manage expectations with people.
One thing I discovered about myself was for many things I have a “gut feel” that I trust unquestioningly. I might not be able to explain why something is wrong/right, but I know it is. Given a bit of time, I can explain it sufficiently and convincingly.
I’ve never had the gift of quick answers with explanations. I’m okay with that.
