      I started using Python ~15 years ago. I didn’t go to school for CS.

      Compared to using literally anything else at the time as a beginner, pip was the best thing out there that I could finally understand for getting third party code to work with my stuff, without copy paste… on Windows.

      When I tried Linux, package managers and make were pretty cool for doing C/C++ work.

      Despite all that, us “regular” engineers were consigned to Windows.

      We either had to use VBA or a runtime that didn’t need to be installed.
