I currently am making a crime where you return a sub-class from a base-class constructor if you know about it's mapping otherwise the base-class which is kinda neat

things I have learned in my new job 1. python packaging and dependency management is a mess 2. google's code gives me brain aches and their dependency management is excessively strict and annoying 3. i hate bazel 4. i hate protobuf
