I have ranted this so often

From the late 00s to early 10s I worked somewhere where we maintained our own Debian distribution (not terribly far from mainline but some localised things for purpose). I learned a lot of packaging and package management and repo skills from that

And then soon thereafter I was in other roles which also included having to deal with software that did npm things (and, occasionally, colleagues that did fpm things) and….. god. Exhausted to my fucking core.

Year after year goes by, and that fucking disastrous pile of shit ecosystem learns almost nothing. Repeatedly.

And every time I have to touch it, it’s a shitshow. Every. Single. Time.
