Episode notes
Facebook Ad Ban
- Reuven Lerner's Facebook ads for Pandas training were banned because Meta believed he was trafficking endangered animals.
- The ban was eventually lifted after his story gained attention online.
App Store Rejection
- Michael Kennedy's Talk Python training app was initially rejected from app stores for supposedly impersonating another app.
- The rejection was based on a sentence about learning Python, which the reviewers misinterpreted as trademark infringement.

- Be prepared to adapt Pythonic idioms, as some don't translate well to Pandas.
