Python packages with pyproject.toml and nothing else
— I've been using `setuptools` and `setup.py` for my Python packages for a long time: I like that it works without me having to think about installing and learning any additional tools such as [Flit](https://flit.pypa.io/) or [pip-tools](https://pip-tools.readthedocs.io/) or [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) or [Hatch](https://github.com/pypa/hatch).
Tech debt metaphor maximalism (via) I’ve long been a fan of the metaphor of technical debt, because it implies that taking on some debt is OK provided you’re strategic about how much you take on and how quickly you pay it off. Avery Pennarun provides the definitive guide to thinking about technical debt, including an extremely worthwhile explanation of how financial debt works as well.
