Pointing this out usually generates a bunch of "pipenv/poetry/uv/whatever works fine for me",

I had to use bundler (Ruby) and got some non-descript “missing dev dependencies”. After installing “dev dependencies” (?) for my Linux distro it still didn’t work. The first StackOverflow answer (for Windows) had over a dozen answers with “this worked for me on macOS”. No logic to it, just a random of assortment of commands that happened to work.

At that point I decided to use devbox. And give up if that didn’t work (but it did).
