Writing out my nod of appreciation to counterbalance some of the negativity. I do enjoy the effort and thought you into this essay. I didn’t read the whole thing, just a few sections from the beginning, and I think you do a great job explaining how these concepts evolved from simple beginnings.

You’ve condensed down a lot of concepts I learned through research and trial-and-error over my career as a SWE.

Thank you for sharing Faza. Please continue putting in the effort and sharing these essays!

Thanks. Glad you liked it. That was my intention with these articles. To explain how most of the things which we take for granted evolved. Even I was able to learn so many new things and find gaps in my own understanding while writing it. I am only doing it because I felt other content on these concepts either just focused on the technicals completely or dumbed down the concepts too much so everyone could follow easily. This is just my attempt at explaining things in detail without making it hard to follow. Initially I had no plans of using any simulations, i was just thinking explaining things with just my writing and some diagrams, but I saw how I can explain things much better with a simulation.
