I need something like this to let non-programmers create some basic JavaScript scripts/flows in an app I have. Obviously would need to be some level of power user but hopefully doesnt require them to know how to code. Has anyone tried

If you want to do the lite version of this there is a book called “From NAND to Tetris” that is an instructional book for a similar class and walks through doing much of the same thing. It helped me connect the dots between “I know how a tr

It's fine, it really is. Just stick to what you are being productive with and enjoy actually building something useful.

"Making GTA V cost $265 million" <-- Your point probably still stands but this number isn't completely true. The total was $265 million but 'only' $137 million was development cost. The rest ($128m) was marketing

The YouTube slowdown is just using the YouTube API. For mp3, it is using the html5 file and audio Apis, and a JavaScript port of the sound touch library. Everything is done in client side javascript, there is currently no application server

This is very subjective, but I think your resume would look better if you made the background white and set the line-height to about 1.5em on the whole body. You might even play with removing the list bullets and padding (list-style:none, p
