Talking about how pep 518 makes python packaging a lot easier is actually one of my screening steps. If they can't pretend to be captivated by that, I drop them immediately. I don't care if you're trying to scam me, if you're also learning key peps!

And God help a scammer who ends up in my hands... Because I will definitely teach them python packaging and GitHub build automations for pypi publishing! I am honestly in awe of some of my students' abilities to deal with python BS.

And Poetry? Pip's own Pep 518 compliance ensures we don't need it! We're managing dependencies by hand, `pyproject.toml` style! Woohoo!
