It seems that you still have found some middle ground between software engineering and law by creating Docket Alarm. :-) Congratulations, it seems like a nice and useful platform. Apparently, it is Django-based, though I'm curious about what are other components of your stack (e.g., for mobile app and analytics). |

Yup, for me, it was the right balance. If you want to start a company, learn engineering, then learn something else, then build something for that something else.

I use Django, jquery, elasticsearch, and google app engine 4 years ago. For analytics, I have used so many platforms and have built a bunch of custom stuff. Sadly, no native mobile app, but the site is fully responsive.
I'm pretty skeptical of taking my past decisions and re-applying them today. Today, parts of it (especially jquery) seem outdated, I'd probably choose vue. Even Python, which is generally great, is causing pain today (moving 2.x to 3.x; performance for a number of corner cases). App Engine used to be an incredible platform, but google has stripped so many features from it that it's hard to describe it today as a real PaaS.
