I built my own pretty useless BASIC computer in 1981 (ZX80) which gave me a deep dive into nontrivial electronic assembly and learning an imperative mode language.

As an engineer and a parent, my experience tells me that feedback is essential in any system aiming to achieve results. Yes and no, positive and negative, are two sides of the same coin.
