<p>I'm not reading a solid argument as to not use "..Defaults()" because doing so suggests that you may introduce a bug and therefore should be explicit about EVERYTHING instead?  Ugh.  Hard disagree.</p>

<p>We have similar interests!  I've been working on a DIY animatronic project that is mostly vibe-coded using Sonnet 4.5.  It's my first electronics project.   So far, I got the Ultrasonic Sensor to trigger led when object is less than 2 feet away.  I set up a sound player and the components fried when I started the device.  I have to redo all of the wiring for the sound setup again. I only have one of three sound modules that isn't bricked.<p>The comments in this thread reveal a community of parents who are aspiring builders of high tech devices for their children.  I think this community need a discord.</p>
