An opinionated Python boilerplate

The author of this article shares their preferred set of tools for starting a new Python project, including pip-tools for dependency management, pyproject.toml for configuration, Makefiles for common sense, Ruff for linting, and Black & isort for formatting.

They also suggest using pre-commit hooks to enforce code standards, but notes that this can add unnecessary complexity for some teams. The author provides an example pyproject.toml file and Makefile, and shares their personal project boilerplate as a starting point for others.
