i encourage everyone to get started on whatever device is most accessible. if you only have a 49 key midi keyboard without weighted keys, get started on that. just do enough to have some fun and see if this is something you'd like to continue. unless you are very serious about learning classical piano, better to build bad habits and correct them later than to allow this "88 key weighted keyboard only" gatekeeping to stop you from starting the journey

Anyone see parallels to software eng:

Proactively identify and fix a software bug: your work will probably go unnoticed, and no one will understand the impact of what you did.

Leave the bug until it causes a huge sev/outage: you become the hero when you fix the issue and gain tons of positive recognition.

The coupons are the biggest advantage to placing orders online. If you place your order over the phone, they aren't going to offer any promos - they'll gladly charge you $16 for a medium 1 topping. Gotta get the coupon to get the 5.99 special.
