I can’t count the times I dropped .terraform-version in a new Terraform repo. tfenv read it, fetched the right binary, and switched. When a new Terraform release broke a plan at the worst possible moment, tfenv use put the old one back and I went on with my day. That command has never once asked me to think hard thoughts.

For a long time, my definition of a successful software release was pretty simple: the tests passed, the binaries built, and the checksums matched. Ship it! That still sounds reasonable, but there is a gap hiding between we built some bytes and users downloaded the bytes we intended to publish.

I’ve written many nearly identical Python Dockerfiles. Pick a base image, install dependencies, add a non-root user, find the right console script, and do it again when the next MCP server shows up. That’s a lot of container housekeeping for a tool that might only tell an agent what time it is.
