Pat, I know UV works on Windows, but in the DevOps world, you got other, other things or is it all, all UV?
28:40
Funny you say that.
28:41
I, I am all UV, but in the corporate environment they have policies applied to the machines, and it... just straight installing Python, that's a no-go, and UV kind of ends up in the same spot.
28:53
But under WSL, then we're more free to do what we want.
28:57
And, uh, I'm more of a, a heavy, like a pep 723 user, the, the section at the top to declare your dependencies.
29:05
Because almost 90-some percent of what I write, it's a single file script.
29:11
And then for side projects I do virtual environments, but I use UV now rather than them.
