Exactly my reasoning last week when I read about one more dependency attack on GitHub.

Do you have a mac? What's your setup? I need CoreML so VMs are not an option, and I'm a freelancer so I use my own MacBook for work. I have a different session for each client, but at this point I don't even know if it's useful at all. Of course I also have a personal session with banking stuff... which is what made me realise I was probably doing something dumb.

Yes, two.

(Well, three, but the third is in a box waiting to go to recycling or someone who wants it "for parts", as that's from 2013…)

It's literally an entire second mac. I bought an MBAir/M1 second hand, then was given an MBPro/M1 Pro; the Pro became my main machine, the Air became my "mess around" box.

While I have two Mac (A mac mini as a workstation and a MBA for portability), I think next time I have to work on a contract, I’ll just setup a VM for the client. NPM always made me uneasy.
