At my job, I did a cool project working with data from a [Freematics][5] car telematics device. I built a data exploration API using [Gin][6] and learned [`jq`][7] to truncate enormous JSON objects[^1]. I also got to, just like, drive my car around to test things out.
-I also made some updates to my [`golong`][8] tool to prep for a fantasy NBA draft. Now it can munge multiple CSVs of data and supports multiple position eligibility (an NBA player is often eligible as both a forward and a center, for example) and average stat projections (NFL projections are typically season-based, NBA are per-game). It worked great, and my team's looking solid so far. I'll open source it one of these days.
