I'm also reminded of Max Gladstone's "Craft Sequence" novels, which have some meso-american themes in a universe where "lawyers ride lightning bolts, souls are currency, and cities are powered by the remains of fallen gods". Highly recommended.

In case you're not aware of it, I'd like to point out https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/unifi-controller, which makes running it self-hosted bearable.

Throwing from a constructor is a fundamental way to make it impossible to construct invalid instances of a class. It's great, especially for immutable classes. Throwing from constructor + immutability = no invalid states ever.
