"It was just five years since Page, then a 22-year-old graduate student at Stanford, was struck in the middle of the night with a vision. In it, he somehow managed to download the entire Web and by examining the links between the pages he saw the world’s information in an entirely new way."
Reminds me of this:
"Driving a Mercedes-Benz W125 Rekordwagen, essentially a W125 with streamlined bodywork and a larger engine, Caracciola set a new average speed of 432.7 kilometres per hour (268.9 mph) for the flying kilometre and 432.4 kilometres per hour (268.7 mph) for the flying mile..." -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Caracciola
"and its not as corrupt." -- au contraire!
Anyway the Idea is good and it is really fun to solve.
"Installing packages You will see ALOT of errors with npm packages - ignore them, everything works anyway."
Thats just not ok.
Its like the Windows burden you mentioned, but much more reasonable imho.
BTW: I have registered at least 3 Accounts to ask silly programming Questions when i was beginner and Stackoverflow managed to kick me in the motivations everytime i was stuck at something.
