Minor nit - I don't think we have a policy that "pip" is always in lower case? Certainly, I don't follow this.

I actually followed the pattern of the previous section which started the sentence with a lower case pip.

Ah, apparently there is even a written tentative convention to always write pip lower case.

Pretty sure I added "tentative" there because Paul and I had a disagreement about this. 😂

lol yeah, I recall now. I find "all lowercase" conventions to be awkward and (to be blunt) a little pretentious. If "pip" is a proper noun, it should either be capitalised all the time, as Pip (like place and person names), or capitalised like any other noun, at the start of a sentence but not otherwise (which is what I prefer). If it's an acronym ("pip installs packages") it should be all-caps ("PIP"), but I don't think that anyone sees it that way.
I'm never going to follow a requirement to lowercase "pip" at the start of a sentence, but I don't care enough to try to force my views on other people, if they prefer to do so.

I promise I have no opinion whatsover about this :) I'll merge as is for consistency because I'm lazy.
