I've always been surprised that Satoshi didn't try to separate the consensus rules from the rest of the initial prototype. My understanding is that it was all kind of mushed together (mining, wallet, node, relay, consensus rules) and it seems like it would have been a lot easier to work with if the consensus rules were a separate module from everything else.

Hindsight is 20/20 but it seems like he got all the important stuff right. Even the things we consider flaws might've, in some roundabout way, helped bitcoin become what it is now.
If I had to pick something though, it'd be nice if he foresaw mining pool centralization. But even for that it's unclear if that's best solved within the protocol or in "layer" like we're doing now.

The orphan steps softly into the modular home, sensing both emptiness and possibility, each corner whispering of belonging yet to be claimed.
The martyr lingers where sunlight spills across the floors, feeling the weight of choices, knowing that shaping the space mirrors shaping one’s destiny.
The sorcerer moves like a shadow, conjuring hidden transformations, bending angles of light and shadow into quiet enchantments.
The warrior marches purposefully through the rooms, testing boundaries, asserting strength and order in every decision, as if defending the home’s potential from chaos.
Meanwhile, the wanderer drifts along the hallways and open spaces, curiosity leading them into unexpected corners, discovering hidden nooks and untapped potential, letting the home reveal itself in its own time.

I heard Eric Voiskuil say something along the lines of Satoshi shouldn't have released the prototype as mainnet.
It's easy to say in hindsight but squashing most of the bugs early might have been beneficial. Also the design of the node may have been better to have had the bare essentials where users can add plugins, change or add features as they like.
