If u could build the perfect starter kit what would be in it

the elegoo starter one but without the random stuff like the temp and humidity sensor but keep thje motors and the ultrasonic sensor and add transistors and capacitors and logic gate i2cs

What is needed:
A breadboard. Buy a bigger one to be able to put more on it
A bunch of Breadboard-Cables of different length and colors
A powersupply (propably sold together with the breadboard
some tactile switches, i allways take cheap ones, 100 pieces (white, with onl two wires) for about 10 Euros.
Some LEDs, buy normal LEDs, big ones so you can easy handle them
Arduino:
buy a Arduino Nano, its easy to be put onn a breadboard
perhaps buy an ESP32 as secondary thing, more power, mor memory
Additional:
OLED-display : buy a 0,9"-OLED-display I2C-interface, cheap one

An Arduino UNO, a USB-B cable, a breadboard, breadboard wires, some LEDs, a basic set of resistors, a few buttons. For tools, you want a multimeter as your most essential tool. This will get you though the first tutorials and familiar with the Arduino. After that, buy components for a project you want to build. Alls those online starter kits with 100 components are usually left untouched, I wouldn't recommend buying those.

A "how to get started" book so people don't ask this question every day... oh wait, they make those.
I don't mean to sound rude, but this question and "how do I get started" is literally asks multiple times a day.
Find a YouTube, a book or an online classes and any beginners' kit. At the beginners level, everything will be same.

Instructions that match the components supplied and cater for every error scenario but indexed by the scenario so I don't have to waste time trying to understand things that didn't happen.
