10/26/2021, 4:29 PMhello! I'm a software engineer at Neuro AI. I'm looking in Pants as an option for moving from multi-repo to mono-repo.
one thing I'm particularly interested in is local development; right now we're very Docker-oriented, and try to require the developer to have as little as possible installed directly on their machines. I've already ran into problems with Pants picking up my macOS Python 😅 plus our tests require services to run, which we currently provide via Docker.
would be happy to hear how others are approaching this
