I love the idea that normal people building software to solve real problems in their life is, necessarily, a toy; the only real software is blessed by our sacred priesthood of PLT experts.

Didn’t mean any judgement just the metaphor that came to mind

Roblox is a game where you make the game. This sounds like an OS where you make the OS.

Probably could have spelled it out more, being too pithy perhaps
