Do you (like me) create a bunch of conda environments, then later forget what they're for, when they were last updated, or which tools are in them? If so, you might this little project: github.com/rrwick/conda...

Great week @unibirmingham.bsky.social at #AMGDMarch25 🧪💻. Main learning outcome: name files and directories something actually meaningful so I don't have to hate my past self. (Also going outside sometimes is good when coding). Thanks so much to @bacterioskeptic.bsky.social for running it!
