Had same experience. Hoping to help clear some backlog, I tried to help with some ML & data pipeline house cleaning. Had never used Python before, but how hard could it be? OMG. One really doesn't appreciate ease and simplicity of multiple simultaneous JDK installs, all peacefully coexisting, until working on some python and nodejs projects. Just running user space dev env via Docker was recently front paged here on HN. I believe that will become the norm. Being a macOS user, I looked to see if there was something more lightweight. Like maybe a port of podman. Lighter than running a virtual Linux instance. Again as a macOS user, I feel like I'm overdue to embrace the remote dev desktop set up. I've read that Googlers don't do any work locally; they all remote shell into servers running the tool stack. So very X Windows; what is old is new again.
