I Love You Pip

Pip is that one package manager that somehow makes "I need to update" sound like a workplace compliance issue and everyone just... accepts it. Say it professionally? Sweet and endearing. Say it about literally anything else? Straight to HR.

The best part is how accurate this is. Pip will politely interrupt your workflow to tell you it's outdated, and we all just smile and go "aww, okay buddy, I'll update you later" knowing full well we won't touch it until it breaks something critical. Meanwhile, if your coworker says "I need to update" about their vacation photos for the third time today, suddenly it's a different story.

Python developers have Stockholm syndrome with pip. We've been conditioned to find dependency hell adorable.
