Sorry to hear that experience.

I've come to discount any form of flattery in intro emails. E.g. when a FAANG recruiter emails me "wow, we were impressed by your public project!", I used to believe it.

Now I know it's just a synonym for "join the back of the line of 17,639,838 applicants."

From the same team that came up with the unique, searchable, and identifiable word "Go" for a programming language.

I still don't understand why the Quora UI shows you unrelated answers, and it's always a weird topic.

"Question: Why did PyTorch beat Tensorflow in popularity"

"Answer (to a different question): I lost my virginity when I was 11 years old"

>It's not simple.

Neither is using virtualenvs for Python packages with native extensions.

Presumably it also can fill the role of conda/mamba i.e. also managing C/C++ libraries in the same way in the nix environment, isolated from the system libraries?

Firejail is cool: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail

Linux namespaces/cgroups but lighter than Docker.

I use it when I want to limit the memory of a Python script:

``` maxmem="56" #GB

firejail --noprofile --rlimit-as=${maxmem}000000000 python myscript.py ```

Agreed with this.

Oftentimes, you even _have_ to painfully grind out advancements in your career from unfulfilling, unhappy places, because amazing jobs aren't abundant and you have to eat (and also you have to have experience and a resume to apply for amazing jobs).
