I love JuMP too. I am very amateur when it comes to optimization, but I found it to be a very efficient way to describe a matching algorithm for a post card exchange I ran (think of it as a Secret Santa, but generalized to each person sending multiple gifts, and discouraging mutual exchanges.) Here's the code: https://twitter.com/paulgb/status/1462483698427781120

To OP's question, besides JuMP, the other use case I've had for optimization is for optimizing the drawing order of pen plots, for which I used or-tools. A write-up on it is here: https://nb.paulbutler.org/optimizing-plots-with-tsp-solver/

I hadn't before realised that you can circumvent the Twitter character limit by turning your message into an image and attaching it. Clever!

It’s funny, despite the code being on GitHub, Twitter search is the fastest way for me to find it. Searching my own tweets as a bookmarking tool is its hidden killer feature.

Images aren’t ideal for sharing code, of course, but it’s not like this example works as a standalone program.
