The open source ecosystem has come very far and proven to be resilient. And while trust will remain a crucial part of any ecosystem, we urgently need to improve our tools and practices when it comes to sandboxing 3rd party code.

Almost every time I bump into uv in project work, the touted benefit is that it makes it easier to run projects with different python versions and avoiding clashes of 3rd dependencies - basically pyenv + venv + speed.

That sends a cold shiver down my spine, because it tells me that people are running all these different tools on their host machine with zero sandboxing.
