Anyone done any work on modelling logistics/supply chains with #Haskell? Can you point me to any libraries or DSLs for building networks or supply and demand. Let's say I wanted to model samples sent to labs with different capacities and test execution times. What should I read?

What have been people's biggest pain points scaling dev teams and orgs past social inflection points (10-16, 30-50, 50-100, 150+). My research suggest commonalities, but I want to hear a wide range of other people's experience. Will collate and report back. RT for reach pls 🙏
