Ask HN: A weird vesting term in not-USA country

ayjay_t — Sat, 28 Jun 2025 00:59:46 +0000

I'm in argument with a board in a foreign nation, where it's typical in vesting contracts that if the whole term isn't complete (4 or 5 years), the employees don't keep what's vested- it's bought back by the company (at the paper rate, I imagine).

I'm just fielding opinions about this term. Seems bad to me, but definitely people around here are in support of it, a cultural thing I think. Or maybe I'm wrong? Is it an American thing as well?

Opinions?

It's not the worst reach

Said it better than I could. It's always a deflection from the fact that whoever is saying doesn't know anything about their industry.

`uv` isn't great for that, I've been specifying and rebuilding my environments for each "project".

My one off notebook I'm going to set up to be similar to the scripts, will require some mods.

It does take up a lot more space, it is quite a bit faster.

However, you could use the workspace concept for this I believe, and have the dependencies for all the projects described in one root folder and then all sub-folders will use the environment.

But I mean, our use case is very different than yours, its not necessary to use uv.

Yeah, I switched from pip to uv. uv seems like its almost the perfect solution for me.

it does virtualenv, it does pyenv, it does pip, so all thats managed in once place.

its much faster than pip.

its like 80% of my workflow now.
