Cultural homophily is persistent, pervasive, and consequential, even in superstar multinational teams of high-skill people with common objectives, doing well defined, interactive, not particularly culture intensive tasks.

It started 14 years ago. With my then Phd student, Peter Harasztosi (now at EIB) we were asked to use a historical IV (I'm not proud of it). In the process he found text on firm level exports in the Hungarian National Library from the 1880s-1890s.

One of the methods I try these years to avoid early academic year stress is to have a week in August when I catch up.
Finish referee reports.
Do syllabi for all year.
Put stuff on websites.
Look thru unanswered mails.
Install python again.
Will it work this time?

In contrast to uv, it is cross-language and also allows to pin down non-python dependencies in the same env (R, Julia, etc). And it also has nice "pixi run command" options (you can even define tasks as in justfiles, which I personally use a lot). pixi.sh/latest/

And i thought i saw it all w r vs python vs stata, or jekyll vs hugo. Or tidyverse vs data.table or pandas v polars. Or logit vs lpm.

For pyfixest's development, we've been using pixi for a while, which I really enjoy. More or less it is the conda-forge (free & open source) equivalent to uv (it actually runs uv for PyPi dependency resolution). Really fast both for PyPi & conda-forge dependency resolution.
