I honestly love seeing stuff like this -- it's really cool.
But part of me always wonders, "I wonder what this kid could've built if he had a more meaningful project in mind?"
I understand that you need to have a certain amount of "fun" before you can do "serious" things, but I can't help but feel a little disappointed that he didn't "dream bigger."
It's not really a criticism. This kid is probably really smart, but I wish it was easy to create environments for such people to really flourish to their full potential.
