Dudebro, I write software and run servers for a living. Admittedly I don’t work with python, but I have developed web applications that run both on bare metal and in docker containers and I’m telling you that the amount of fuckery required to spin up anything on bare metal will 99% of the time be more than what’s needed to spin up the same application in a container. The end result will be more brittle and more likely to conflict with other software on the same machine.

Also, sure it’s not hard to install HASS in a pyenv now, because the dev team specifically ensured it. Maybe that requires tradeoffs that they don’t want to make anymore?

Seriously quit being a dick to people in niche software communities, it’s pathetic
