This was referring to the pain I went through changing the code mentioned in this passage:

As soon as I realized that Noms could panic when calculating the hash of its types I knew I was way off. In the end I think I spent closer to 6 weeks on this. It was time-consuming, and boring, but it couldn't be automated and every one of the changes was an opportunity to introduce bugs.

You are right though, I didn't spend too much of the post talking about how much I hated that 6 weeks and how I regretted my life choices.

I wrote a blog post showing how easy it is to take datasets from Dolt and combine them to get interesting data. In the blog I take the IRS Sources of Income dataset and combine it with information on congressional districts to find out which districts represent the least and most tax dollars.

There is no particular significance to that number, it was chosen because I had seen similar metrics before but always for the whole country, or the entire world, and it usually was a measure of wealth not income. Example:
