Yes. I show the python or node version of currently active venv and venv name.

Also, I somehow worked in special characters for Python and other things that get screwed up if I don’t have the right nerd font installed on the system.

How often are you switching these things that you need their values in sight at all times though?

Even for cases where I need to use old versions, I don’t need a reminder of that every time I run a command.

All of the time. Often I'm working with 3-4 different project contexts simultaneously.

It isn't that useful but I do glance it when I'm working on dependencies and to ensure the context between a terminal session and pycharm's interpreter match.

The information doesn't cloud the prompt for me though, as it is right justified and I don't really think about time to load, as the machines are relatively recent Apple Silicon.
