2/6 I expected PyBLP's issue tracker (github.com/jeffgortmake...) to be mostly bug reports, but most are questions. Our 2nd paper was motivated by these interactions, and many of our explanations were informed by discussions on the tracker and emails from less vocal users.

3/6 For micro BLP, I spent time iterating on PyBLP's interface to balance usability and flexibility. Feedback from users helped improve my design, which mapped directly into our standardized econometric framework, a key contribution of the 2nd paper.
