"Why it matters"

Kringe sloppy AI writing.

Opus 4.7 came even quicker than I expected. It's like they are releasing a new Opus to distract us from Mythos that we all really want.

This is really awesome news.

No prob. I'm going through the same process as you at the moment, have been looking at all the options for a while. Micro:bit seems to be the best fit for young learners.

BBC micro:bit V2 - Will be able to get tangible results very quickly.

Start with the simple stuff: https://microbit.org/projects/make-it-code-it/

I find games in scratch are complex and require too much programming knowledge to really get something interesting up and running. The micro:bit on the other hand can do interesting lights, sounds, etc with just the drag and drop of a few lines.

I am in the same boat with old code bases. I find younger developers that haven't maintained code for 10+ years seem to not appreciate simple code.

Colleague of mine once said it nicely:

I started writing simple code, then I gained experience and started writing sexy complex code, then I gained more experience and now I write simple code again.
