Hot take on everyone's favourite topic: Python packaging

The other day I explained virtual & conda environments to different people that were new to them and... it was shocking to realise how complex they are, and how used I am to that complexity.

Explaining why conda still makes sense in 2024 and when to use it and how to combine it with pip is still a pain.

If your solution to Python packaging is adding fancy colors around virtual environments... you're solving the wrong problem.
