The difference in its ability is immense. Even with less features it makes a lot of sense to switch. It really shows how much the harness matters almost equally to the model.
At least one of the missing features is a basic piece of functionality (showing token quota used). Without it, you're pretty much guaranteed to get locked out for a week with no warning.
There is little that they can do short of running the programs in a VM. Linux distros aren't engineered to consider applications as something different from the user running them. You need a completely different security model to achieve that and the Python runtime isn't tackle that.
In its inception 35 years ago the creator of python could not foresee how far python would go and how the environment would look like today. But nowadays there are a lot of security mechanisms they could leverage to adapt (from chroot by default to namespaces, cgroup, etc. on Linux, pledge, unveil on OpenBSD).
The very idea that you offer a (python) package installer that is gonna pull a tree of code published and updated by random people in an unvetted manner open the door to all the supply chain attacks we are seeing.
Around the same time (early 90s) Java was designed with high isolation in mind but the goal and vision was very different. And Java had its own problems.
I'm saying that because at some point the security problem is gonna really hurt the python ecosystem.
A model that I can use? I'm on a trial plan but this doesn't convince me to pay for it for real. The 20$ plan for Codex and Claude just works and I get stuff done.
Bold claim. I have the opposite experience. On this site I imagine most folks will agree with you, but there are a lot of folks who choose to work at larger companies over small ones.
I have worked for enterprise companies all my life, they are all a horrible mess of people trying to play 4d chess to get a promotion and look good. They do offer better life / work balance, so if you are not a workaholic like the startup / SF crowd, then its actually a decent job. Just remember to enjoy the life outside the office, with people that are not from the office and you will be fine.
Notably the rewrite managed to also both reduce binary size and reduce compile time. Given it's largely a straight non idiomatic migration, that's surprising to me.
