Personally I’m just a fan of people improving dev tooling, regardless of it ultimately making a huge difference to my workflow. I haven’t used uv yet, but I’m still tangentially following it because despite pip and poetry being great tools I have had my fair share of grievances with them.

Using uv (IME) should be a drop-in replacement for almost all of your python packaging needs. I highly recommend giving it a shot - it’s saved me measurable time in just a few months.

Always find it amusing when people write about „blocking“ requests using robots.txt as if they are deploying a firewall

Agreed, all it takes is another site to copy the content, then an LLM could just scrape that…

An open web that block scraping… is likely “not an open web”
