LOL. I often tell people online that they're better off downloading the free Arduino IDE or playing around with the Wokwi simulator until they have a good idea of what they want to build and whether or not it's within their capabilities before buying parts.

I've built a lot of custom arduino-based projects for other people and a substantial fraction of them are the "I bought a bunch of stuff, but I don't have time to learn how to program it" types.
