I don’t want to sound like a downer, but I’m skeptical about Armada: never heard of it before, repo created last June, tons of features implemented in that short span and already “ready to go”… Seems like it has been heavily vibe-coded.

One of the absurds things I’ve noticed is teaching how to play instruments to people who do not listen to music regularly — and thus did not develop their musical taste yet — and do not know what to play. In my experience, learning an instrument for the sake of knowing how to play it, rather than to play music that you like is not very productive.

So, we end up with what you described: kids who know how to play the Good Stuff™ because their parents wanted to, but hate it.

There were some controversies due to the toxicity of Hpyrland’s community (namely its discord server). See this post for example

Edit: I should have read OP’s linked post first, which actually also refers to Drew’s post.
