Yes, the idea of the bot is easy. The reality is something else. But breaking it down into smaller components and mapping out how they fit together, like the image in the article helps immensely with understanding the flow of logic necessary to make it work.

In fairness, I already had a number of years of experience with plain old Javascript. But Javascript had moved on since I last worked with it. I also had to figure out the Node.js ecosystem. There are a number of development stacks and frameworks to chooser from. Once you choose one, you are committed to it, because refactoring the code to another is a nightmare.
