Yeah, at a past job I had to build out a way to run launchdarkly in FastAPI and it was very unpleasant. Launchdarkly only ships a sync python client so we ended up having to run it in another process to avoid blocking all requests

Conversion of office property to residential also requires a lot of capital which seems forgotten by a lot of the folks championing this kind of conversion. It's not as simple as building some interior walls and calling it a day
