I only browsed this but it seems like a pretty cool primer. Loving the style as well.
It's also a very good idea to write these types of resources when you teach yourself something new because it clarifies your thought process and helps you identify parts that are still unclear even though you initially thought you understadn them etc.
I also liked this at the end:
"""
I talked to GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 a decent amount while writing this article. While they lied to me a lot and most of the information was useless, they were sometimes very helpful for working through problems. LLM assistance can be net positive if you’re aware of their limitations and are extremely skeptical of everything they say. That said, they’re terrible at writing. Don’t let them write for you.

Congrats, cool project.
- archmaster 3y agoI'm glad you enjoyed it! > It's also a very good idea to write these types of resources when you teach yourself something new because it clarifies your thought process and helps you identify parts that are still unclear even though you initially thought you understadn them etc. I found this to be very much the case. As I wrote the article, I discovered so many things that I didn't properly understand. It partially took so long because I ended up going down mini rabbit holes every step of the way. And now I understand stuff a lot better!
- II2II 3y agoExcellent work. I have run across so many resources where it is clear that they author was both a learner and had little interest in going back to improve their work for clarity and accuracy. Your work is clearly several leaps beyond that. It is clear and the portions I have read are accurate. It leaves me wanting to go back to read more and I am confident you won't disappoint. Thank you for your contributions and I wish you the best in your future endeavours.

- stavros 3y agoThe most important reason to write this while learning is that you only once have the questions of someone who doesn't know the topic. As soon as you learn it, you forget what it was like to not know it. Fron that point on, you've always known it. That's why writing down all your questions while learning is extremely important for then teaching.
- afstr 3y agoI agree, the curse of knowledge is so strong. It's so hard to be a beginner again. I like spending time with beginners in things I know well before I start writing tutorials.

I think this one is very cool. It's like a more approachable version of Modern Operating Systems.
