jker··on Peloton replaces CEO and lays off 2,800 people
Somewhat related: a miniature version of the Peloton model is Supernatural, which I run on the Oculus Quest 2. (https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/1830168170427369/).

I doubt they’re even funny to the tiny in-group of wealthy anxious Manhattanites for whom they’re written.

I’ll second this, though with some hesitation. If you just want to get stuff done, start with tidyverse. But if and when it’s time to start writing classes and packages, you may have to go back and gather some of the fundamentals.
jker··on CadQuery –- A Python parametric CAD scripting framework based on OCCT
One thing that kept me using OpenSCAD was the section of additional modules for it, including a decent involute gear creator. For those of you diving into CadQuery, here’s the equivalent: https://github.com/meadiode/cq_gears
