I received an Arduino Uno starter kit from my grandfather many many years ago on my birthday; it got me started coding before I even realized I was coding. I don't even think I was a teenager? Only years later when I took my first programming course at college, did I realize :)

Glad to see the original uno hardware updated -- I distinctly remember running out of flash memory, because I copied and pasted the blinking LED code hundreds and hundreds of times. I didn't know about for or while loops !


I cannot agree enough.

For example, in the bevy[0] discord alone, there's a remarkable about of advice, plugin recommendations, and technical help that's essentially just lost in noise.

It's a real shame; I can't help but wonder how much effort is repeated, or how much beginners needlessly struggle because they couldn't effectively find information.
