@sethmlarson @freakboy3742 @jacob @sgillies kind of a relief to hear that this is a common sentiment, and maybe I will also remain stalwartly anti-uv until a similar milestone
@glyph @sethmlarson @freakboy3742 @jacob @sgillies As much as I hate VC, I find this whole genre of pearl-clutching around uv weird. FOSS projects flame out all the time too. If Frost loses interest, there’s no PDM anymore. Same for Ofek and Hatch(ling).
I fully expect Astral to flame out and us having to fork/take over—it’s the circle of FOSS. To me uv looks like a genius sting to trick VCs into paying to fix packaging. We’ll be better off either way.
@glyph @sethmlarson @freakboy3742 @jacob @sgillies While I'm on board with the "What's the monetisation strategy?" skepticism, I'm also on board with @hynek's point of view here: no matter what happens to the company bootstrapping it, the code is out there now, and we'll collectively figure out a way to pick it up if necessary (FWIW, my bet would be on the problem never coming up due to the VC exit strategy being an eventual sale to an established dev tools player that wants road map influence).
