I also had a strong bias against the sets, I saw them as completely against the spirit of Lego. Why would I want to build the one thing in the picture? Now that I have a 5 year old daughter and we play Lego a lot, I see the value of the set

I can totally see how that would be true. You build muscle memory and positive associations around the operation of the machine. But you've gotta see too how it's akin to turning a rotary phone dial.

I'd say they have the leading household name and a good amount of marketing behind it, but I don't see any of their offerings as superior to Google's, and AWS is catching up quickly.

"Callback hell" as it is described in this article is a symptom of not understanding how to flatten your code for readability. Deep nesting is a trap in every language, it's the programmers job to know how to write readable c

How are you going to artificially constrain your workflow in a way that resembles a massive mixing desk in the room? I made concessions about the technical details you're asking about in my post, you chose not to quote that part.
