I really wish I could find solid websites/blogs/resources for operations research, mathematical planning, linear programming, etc aimed at regular software engineers. I feel like a lot of the really crazy parts of codebases often derive from inexperience with these kinds of tools.

I write blog posts about constraint programming from time to time. I always include a step-by-step description of the model, which makes it fairly easy to understand. Hopefully this can be of help for you: https://pedtsr.ca
Have you seen http://www.hakank.org/ ? Mostly about constraint programming, but definitely in the realm of operations research.
I've stumbled across it a few times way back when I was looking at MRP stuff for an ERP I worked on. I remember it being a rare gem of a website. I'd throw away 99% of web pages if the ones remaining were all like this one. Thanks for the reminder!
