There's also vend ( https://github.com/fosskers/vend ) for package management and per project isolation.

Not sure how my article even made it onto HN but HN has been my home page for 16 years so I'm pretty stoked. A quick note, Common Lisp tooling documentation exists in a LOT of places, but I could not find a single beginner friendly map of the full development stack, so had a long chat with various LLM's to spin one up. Regardless of your views on this approach to things I hope the article helps some people get a better mental model of what the pieces are and how they fit together. It's helped me wade through a lot of choices and debug a few things.
