I can't program with too much/little musical stimulation or without a driving beat, I also find repetition annoying and love symphonic and electronic elements.
So, if anyone is interested here's a random sample:
Roof - Big Spoon Instrumental Version
Theophany - Woods of Mystery
Power-Haus - P.I.M.P. Shyloom Remix
Nicholas Hooper - Umbridge Spoils a Beautiful Morning
Arkana - Umi and the Serpent
VOLO - Mystic
Apashe - More (Prelude)
Yes, that is what I've noticed too. On medium/big projects macro-level(holistic) arrow functionality is far more important than having beautifully curved arrows from node A to node B. Solving that problem strangely resembles routing on a circuit board with buses, labels, colors, layers etc.
It's cute and definitely a great way to "draw S-curved arrow between boxes", but, under the assumption of being built to be used within a real project with dozens or hundreds of overlapping connections, this, like many other node systems, fails to be usable unless you push the complexity somewhere else.
Not interested in this book, but maybe you find my opinion of any value:
Your website comes off as hustle to get money without content:
* The first section where you describe your product, you avoid all that the product is, making me think you don't actually have content which you want to show off(the book image is digital with no mention of it being an ebook, the description is about me and tehnologies, no preview, no list of concrete things I learn)
* In the next section you continue marketing a dream instead of the actual content, then you sell reviews, a story and others' opinion. Again, I conclude that you don't want me to form my own opinion of potentially bad content.
* "What I'll get" is meta content, things I should see after being sold the content. At that point I clicked off the website thinking it's a scam.
Before commenting this I went one more time to make sure I didn't miss anything and discovered that you actually do have chapters content and preview, just past the point where I clicked off.
Hard disagree. No one should do anything if they don't understand the consequences.
It's no one's job to baby proof the world.
If someone hasn't learnt that lesson yet they might be paying looks up PinePhone price $399 to learn it.
pick up a functional programming language and learn its [concept] library, it's a great way to experiment with mathematical concepts while also having something concrete to play with. I suggest Haskell.
P.S. challenge yourself to solve problems with as few lines as possible, that way you're forced to find better (combinations of) abstractions
