They report to engineering managers who report to me.
> Also, the Python landscape is just as bad as frontend! And I enjoy writing both quite a bit. Pip, pipenv, pyenv, poetry, conda, virtualenv, uv, ruff, black, pep8, etc, etc. They both need massive improvements.
Yeah, it is bad, but a notch better.
Most things in Python land are 5-year-olds.
5-year-old React or Vue codebases (the two most popular frameworks) are not backward-compatible with the current release.
And we cannot stay on old versions as we have a government as a customer who requires SBOM, and SBOM declaring unmaintained dependencies creates even more trouble than upgrading frontends regularly!
