Yes. On macOS particularly you can do sandbox-exec(1) with custom / per-task SBPL profiles. Combined with strict control over environment variables that are passed into the agent process plus an outbound firewall like LittleSnitch.

Important is to isolate tasks from each other. Example: for work related tasks I let the agent access Datadog or Docker socket. Everything else does not have access to these.

Turning to drugs to improve learning performance is bad advice. Note: I don’t say what you do is bad, this is totally up to you. But giving someone else the advice using drugs is just bad.

This is bad advice, sorry. Not the financial one I mean, it’s always good to save up some money for bad times, but the “you will burn out” part.

If you think that you will eventually burn out, like in “its just a matter of time”, you should seriously consider switching jobs, work in a less demanding industry, or do something else. There is so much more to life than just this work and nothing keeps you from working just at half the pace. You even might get some different insights from that. Seriously, I don’t want to sound like a total jerk but when this is the approach you choose, it’s going to be needlessly rough.

Your username indicates your attitude, btw. Talk to a friend or professional. Maybe you need some good advice.

IRC turns thirty 8 years ago

Oh, wow. I see. With push notifications, mobile clients, TLS encryption this _could_ work in a company setting …provided you keep logs and make search results available for staff, too. Cool. Thanks for the links!

Sure. However simplicity is quite important when you choose IRC as company chat solution and you want not only your geeky devs to join but also not–so–geeky people like the guy from marketing and the friendly folks from the front–desk.
