For starters, this submission is about learning synthesizers, while ngrid (according to adamnemecek at least) is about music composition. Two different areas in music.
Usually when people self-promote here on HN, it's closely related to the topic at hand, and people explain how it's related to or better than the submission. When adamnemecek promotes his ngrid project, he does no such thing and instead writes something like "I've been working on an IDE for music composition, launching in X months/weeks " without describing it more, seems like they are just trying to get more clicks to their projects page. Probably works too, otherwise they wouldn't continue doing so.
And finally, anyone who have been reading comments on music-related submissions here on HN for the last 4 years (yeah, really! Take a look at https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... and go to the last page!) have seen ngrid being mentioned by adamnemecek on basically every single music-related submission.
There is a time and place for posting your own projects. Doing it on every submission that is slightly related to your projects theme is not that.
This is truly a wonderful project. I am expecting more and more apps like this using web audio.
It's also great to see a lot of interest on music making!
BTW, here is a collaborative live coding language/environment I am developing:

You can learn synth and sequencer with examples, similar to this project, yet in a code-based/non-GUI manner.
Pretty cool demo, if you want to make your own electronic music you should check out LMMS, it's free & fairly easy to learn the basics: https://lmms.io
I've been messing with LMMS for the past couple of years, zero musical training, following YouTube tutorials and came up with a bunch of stuff that sounds half decent in my opinion:
If you're going with software eurorack emulations as a didactic tool, VCV rack should be pointed out, too. The standalone version is open source: https://vcvrack.com
The basic modules that are included let you form the core of subtractive synthesis. Having them available as isolated, wired up building blocks is a very visual help in understanding how they relate.
