It took me way too long to realise that Arc<Mutex<T>> is basically a way to create multiple &mut T references (with runtime constraints). This means that you can use plain &T and &mut T in the vast majority of your code. Most code doesn't need to care there's a mutex.

Trying to let my 3yo try as many different technology interfaces as possible. Mouse: not too bad, especially after reducing sensitivity. Keyboard: WASD is easy to lose track of in a sea of buttons. Controller: requires both hands together, which is tricky. Arguably the left hand is more important too, hard for a right hander.
