However, it turns out that a tool that needs to be extremely CWD-aware also makes a great .env tool and task runner. I was also a little skeptical, but it’s actually super super useful. Especially because it’s easy to convince team members to install it for the tools, they get the rest for free with easy syntax.
In the future though I see tasks as being the headline for mise over tools. That's a ways out, certainly more than a year, but the thing about tasks is they don't suffer from the drawbacks that both PATH and shims have for putting your tools in the right place. In my personal use of mise I don't actually like using `mise activate` whatsoever. The problem is just that I can't yet do everything with tasks easily enough. Tasks need to get to a point where they're so easy you won't want to bother with having tools in your shell.
Though who knows. I may be off my rocker on that one. I certainly get things wrong as much, if not more, than I get them right.
