Thanks for taking the time to write all this up, I'm checking out the projects you mentioned now.
I feel you on the tinkering-to-feel-less-overwhelmed front. I've been through a few ground shifts in my career so far, and even a little bit of "Oh, so that's how it works, ok..." can make it feel so much less daunting.
No worries. And yes, absolutely. Even the tiniest opportunity to poke around with stuff changes my perspective dramatically.
I've picked up lots of stuff this way — just being able to watch the server logs is great!
P.S. I prodded myself into playing with Osaurus; it's actually rather good.
