Super grateful to read stories like these. I'm studying part-time to complete a BA in political science while working full-time as a software developer. I love learning the subject, but the workload can be tough. Happy to hear it'

I built a tiny tool to help decide the seating chart for my small wedding. It was a cute GUI on top of a simple constraint solver. It wasn't perfect, but it helped me feel confident in the final result.

Happy to see more tools in the data schema space. Will you support Standard Schema ( https://standardschema.dev )? How does this compare to typebox ( https://github.com/sinclairzx81/typebox )?

Love it or not (mostly not), shipping software in large organizations requires navigating what the business and its leaders demand. You can try while ignoring leaders, but you'd be unlikely to ship anything. You'd be in good compa
