My workflow:

cd project
python -m venv .venv
. ./.venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

By default pyvenv excludes system packages, so I can have different versions in the venv. To reset the venv, I just have to delete the .venv dir.

Seconded, after being burned repeatedly I always do this. But why are you calling activate from the directory above?

I don't think he does. If you're talking about the third line, there's a space between the dots.

The dot command is equivalent to source (running the script in the context of the current shell).
