Hey David, just a note that I’ve moved this post to your personal blog. One of the key properties that makes a post a fit for the frontpage is whether the primary purpose of the post is explaining a concept versus anything else, like attempting to persuade the readers to take a particular action, or announcing a new project. This post is primarily a combination of those two, which is why I moved it back to your personal blog.
(There are very occasionally exceptions to these guidelines, but if it falls in the middle I’d encourage folks to err on the side of posting to their personal blog and letting the mods move it to the frontpage.)

I found this post from the frontpage view just now (https://www.lesserwrong.com/?view=frontpage). Is that not expected for personal blog posts?
Yep, unexpected behavior. Turns out MongoDB distinguishes between “unset”, “null” and “false” in weird ways...
