Toy Bricks
-
When I was a kid there were various companies making toy bricks - Lego were the best but there were many other kinds of copy cat bricks. As a child I had various sets of bricks from various companies - they often looked similar but had different sizes and quality of plastic but as a child I persevered - with a bit of effort I could get incompatible bricks to almost fit with each other or I would use one style of brick for one part of what I was making and others for other parts. The ones which almost fit would look wrong and feel wrong and would often come apart at inopportune moments but I was a kid so didn't really care. I could always kinda make what I set out to make and if some parts didn't fit and others didn't colour coordinate and others just looked wonky then that was good enough for me, as a child. These days that's web development.

If memory serves some of the 'cheaper' bricks also did lock together quite right so the creation would fall apart...

or look stable enough then the cheap bricks would just pop apart (usually at night)

When I was a kid there was Meccanno(tm) - we used it to build really large flexible frameworks that we then didn't manage to find any purpose for. These days that's back end development
