Every tutorial says use virtual environments, but I stopped after a year of trying

I kept reading the same advice everywhere, so for 12 months I forced myself to set up a venv for every tiny script. Then I realized for solo projects that never leave my machine, it's just extra steps. I found this out when my third "python -m venv" in one week got deleted by accident and I lost a day redoing setup. Not saying they're useless, but for learning basic loops and file reading, it's overkill. Anyone else skip this at first and go back to it later?

The venv folder can be rebuilt with one command, so a day of lost setup means the real work isn’t in the environment.
