Tbf I’m an SRE/DBRE who codes in Python, but if I need to test something, I spin up a venv, install what I need, and then am done. I also made a shell function to make temporary venvs that also launch a Jupyter Notebook with whatever packages you want, and deletes itself when done. It works well for me.

GP wasn't explicit, but I think his assumption was that "experiments" are things outside of your wheelhouse - e.g. you want to try out a some node code, or compile a golang app. You've already budgeted to have python on your machine and up-to-date.

I keep a Go and Rust compiler installed for when I need to use them. I’d rather not wait for it to download and install every time I want to do so.
