I find it odd that people recommend Docker for sandboxing agentic coding tools. Isn't it easier to just create a separate user account on the machine? It's an established security boundary, and viewing output is easy (just make the user's home directory world readable).

When you start a greenfield project, there will be parts of your code that you write and will never need to modify again. It's weird, and I don't think this phenomenon really occurs in established projects.

Advice from one of the authors of Common Lisp on PL work: established languages tend to win in their domain. It really helps if you enjoy working in this space. (There is a ton of PL skill and insight in the smaller languages IME.) https://pldb.com/posts/scottFalhmanInterview.html
