Hey, It was just a couple of months ago, on May 14, when I received an email asking if I still would be interested in working on Stan through the summer as part of Google Summer of Code, as I initially didn’t receive the funding. I said yes, and since then, my time has been…

Hey, Sometimes you make some plans; however, life has some other plans. I believe that code refactoring is a canonical event for every developer and for every software package. Sometimes it is a complete overhaul, and sometimes it is just about rewriting a single function, like I did over the last two weeks. Just as…
