You know until today I dismissed all those concerns about uv being a commercial product but now I am very concerned.

Microsoft has been a reasonable steward of github and npm considering everything but I don't feel so good about OpenAI this makes me reconsider my use of uv and Python as a whole because uv did a lot to stop the insanity. Not least Microsoft has been around since 1975 whereas I could picture OpenAI vanishing instantly in a fit of FOMO.

Perhaps a reasonable steward, but no more than a steward.

All the passion and vision is gone from GitHub and NPM. They're now too big and too stale not to (eventually) be replaced by projects which do still have excitement and leadership
