maybe it was a mistake to think of "object-oriented programming" as a general software paradigm & teach it in isolation to new programmers with animal examples and stuff, when actually it's deeply tied to making GUIs
programming in Objective-C reminds me of programming in Java when I was a teenager, where I'd repeatedly get stuck (& get distracted, go do something else) on decisions about what UI class should own some data object as its property, what classes should parent or point at what other classes, what order stuff needs to be initialized in
(often felt like there was no obviously right answer, or it ended up being path-dependent on the history of the project)
idea: context-specific version numbers -- you present different version numbers to different audiences (maybe each person can even get their own personal version number based on their specific dependency relationship with the software) https://mastodon.online/@nikitonsky/113691789641950263

working with the Raspberry Pi camera is funny because you gradually realize that this (or at least this part of the system) is not so much a shrunk-down PC as it is a moderately more open-source smartphone
meaning that you've got a camera system that is exceptionally high-quality, small, fast, low-power, but complex and nonstandard hardware/drivers/libraries
