These skill trees are so awful. The computing one has "learn to type on a keyboard" after buying a domain, setting up an email domain, make a website, make a blog, or building your own computer. Their measure of advance in general is basically random. Also they aren't trees.

You are reading it in the wrong direction. "Learn to type on a keyboard" is the basic skill (and I am pretty sure it means some form of touch typing, not a finger-poking), and "Buying a domain" is the advanced one.

  Peak HN to clearly not even spend 1 minute to understand the content to then come in the comments ranting about how bad it is and that it's wrong. Sure, some of the ordering of difficulties may be off but a lot of it is subjective depending on what you already know I'd say. I think they're a good way of getting some motivation of projects to undertake

    Even more peak Hackernews is assuming the OP is wrong when the author had between my comment and your comment, made a PR specifically changing my complaint. https://github.com/sjpiper145/MakerSkillTree/commit/752a13566430dfae973a3cac81cfceec4b63968e https://github.com/sjpiper145/MakerSkillTree/commit/752a1356...

  No I read it correctly, they made a commit updating this. https://github.com/sjpiper145/MakerSkillTree/commit/752a13566430dfae973a3cac81cfceec4b63968e https://github.com/sjpiper145/MakerSkillTree/commit/752a1356...

I mean, it might work for ppl who are visualizers (those who like to have whiteboards all around them) and struggle with making a plan to master a skill. I am assuming, of course, that everyone will break down a path into their own personal steps rather than just downloading an random roadmap. I can see this being more appealing than a boring to-do list.
