It's basically a single file bwrap+AppArmor virtualenv wrapper with practically zero startup time and provides a easy way to provide your agent the ability to write code for, and run it against an internal virtualenv software stack.

I've got a few friends that went this way and it's a bit... odd.
Some Americans don't like google interfering with their discourse and they spend their time using constitutional arguments as to how ok that is or not. International people watching these arguments look on with boredom.
Meanwhile, and american company per default explicitly shapes the dialog of the entire world and people shrug.

Personally, I've noticed that my depth of thinking has improved since making time for contemplation. I was nervous initially about not having read everything - I was surprised and proud how people said "have you seen xyz" and I had. I'm not that person any more, but my skills as an engineer to solve complex problems has improved.
