Interesting visit to GitHub blog.
Very interesting here, the emphasis on learning how to program “without learning dependency management.” I must admit, however, that the premise is a precarious one. So, if you’re bundling these in-built dependencies into a development environment, you’re intending to imply that the resulting project will be less portable? What’s going to happen when the user doesn’t account for the dependencies? Is it really right to leave them outside of full understanding of the fact that modern software undergoes a modern development process?
In my opinion, learning programming without learning dependency management is perfectly fine if you target simple hardware systems, rather than modern software systems, that doesn’t quite appear to be the intended emphasis here.

Now, this is interesting. Using an actual button to deploy software. But what’s the catch here? The button used is a pre-made Amazon AWS IoT button, and to get it set up requires creating an Amazon account. Yuck, but… you get the idea. If you ask an average consumer, surely they would think that process to be more simple than going through a home server, or even their own laptop/PC.
