OMG You Still Use pip? Testing UV, the 100× Faster Python Package Manager

I’ve been loyal to pip for years... but after getting roasted for still using it in 2025, I finally decided to try UV — the Python package manager everyone’s talking about.

In this video, I test out UV, a tool that promises to be 10–100x faster than pip, and claims to replace pip, pipx, poetry, virtualenv, and more — all in one.

From installing UV on Windows, creating a project in VS Code, running scripts with uv run, and testing dependency caching speed; we’ll see exactly what makes UV so impressive (or not 😳).
