@paulg I find my 5 and 6 year olds can do much more advanced Lego sets if I just help them pre-sort.

@paulg sordid egoists sour

@paulg But how to sort? My kids have gravitated to flats, bricks, gears and axles, smalls, organics, wheels, and weirds. Work in progress.

@paulg like reducing technical debt

@paulg Rare and vintage Lego sets is power and prestige. It's like a competition for middle schoolers.

@paulg box of random Legos is creativity.

@bluesix Color, then shape since the parts lists in kits are that way.

@paulg most large new Legos come pre sorted. Huge quality of life improvement.

@paulg That is similar to good, old microcontroller design vs arduino. Better to learn how to sort, for starters.
