This should have been disclosed in the first paragraph

Wow it just keeps going. Extremely thorough.

This is a relief in many ways. With Fivetran’s acquisitions of both dbt labs and Tobiko, I was expecting the end of the open source data ecosystem.

Astral was always going to have to find some way to sustain itself financially. They weren’t going to just make the best free tools in the ecosystem forever. uv is sufficiently entrenched as infrastructure that I’m sure it’ll take no time for a community fork to show up if they do anything stupid with it.

Ruff solves this. You should not be manually fiddling with indentations in 2026.

Hah, thanks. Believe it or not I proofread it like three times but my mental autocorrect is just really aggressive.

I will never be a Quant, but I have a proofreading spidey-sense. It is rare that I read an article in even a national newspaper and don't see a typo.

This skill doesn't get me chicks though, surprisingly.

And yes, I just know I will have made a stupid mistake somewhere in this comment...

I keep making this argument elsewhere on the Internet, so I thought it would be nice to make my point all in one place. Python is good now, if you weren't paying attention.

Thanks! And you're right this is true for storage and at the transaction level where nothing smaller than, e.g., a penny is allowed to move or exist in the first place. But when you're working with interest rates and the main calculations involve multiplying by numbers < 1, you still have to figure out rounding.
