One thing I see a lot in game dev discussions is people treating node composition and component architecture as if they are identical.

They overlap, but they are not the same design approach.

I made a video breaking down the distinction, why it matters, and how you can build a lighter component-style setup in Godot instead of defaulting to more behavior nodes.
