What do you think I'm trying to do, precisely?
I'd agree, if my goal was "to be a great and complete coder."
I don't. I want just enough to build cool things.
Now, that's just me.
That being said, I'd also venture to say that your attitude here might be a tad dinosaurish. I like it too, but also, know that to a large extent, especially in the market -- this "quality" that you're striving for here may just not happen.

That's great, but that wasn't the point I was responding to. I was specifically addressing your specific point of:
>>> I don't believe much is lost "intellectually" by my use of a mech suit, as long as I observe carefully.
I still think that's nonsense; no one learns much by observing.
Paraphrasing the old joke, you aren't going to get to Carnegie Hall by observing violinists.
