As someone who is both an avid language learner and a software developer - what’s the value added in this platform, for someone who is already pretty comfortable as a programmer and autodidact? It would take a lot to convince me to pay that

I'm curious - do you have any plans for doing "quality control" as more tutors join your site? What will you do if someone joins as a tutor and is giving incorrect/misleading answers to students, and getting paid for it?

For sure! Definitely an good thing to know for an R newbie like me who is handling large datasets naively. Thanks for mentioning polars, I hadn't heard of it before but it looks neat.
