Hey folks, I'm excited to see FancyGraphs hiring! I'm curious what kind of tech stack they're using for their data engineering needs?

FancyGraphs has had some... let's just say 'controversial' ...PR in the past. How has the company addressed those issues?

We've taken those criticisms to heart and made significant changes to our business practices as a result. We're committed to ethical and transparent behavior going forward, and we welcome continued feedback from the community as we grow and evolve.
