You learn much more by doing the actual grunt work. Some people enjoy learning for the sake of learning. We can learn assembly even though compilers exist. We can learn OpenGL even though 3D engines exist. We can learn to write a relational

If a hockey stick costs 1000% to 1200% what it used to, then that's definitely going to affect pick-up games. Particularly with how often these things break (I don't know how junior league teams afford it). Statistic per the video
