Hi, thanks for your kind words. My intention is just to share my understanding and explain things in the way i wished someone would have explained me if i was not familiar with that topic. And it's a rewarding experience for me too, i do find something new about the topic or find some gaps in my thinking too. And since I am only starting, i am okay with all the feedback and work on my rough edges. I want the readers to walk away with new clarity and understanding.

Author here, when I share something on my blog, i take full responsibility on the writing and the concepts being explained. This couldn't have been generated with just LLMs. If it was that easy, i wouldn't have bothered to work on it. I am sorry you felt that this was just slop, but i really thought people would enjoy reading it.

I have my rough drafts ready for all the topics which i want to explain. And I actually spent majority of my week working on the networking article, it's a lot.

Thanks, glad you liked it. I have deployed few fixes in the mobile view. Added a horizontal scroll for simulations without reducing the size

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

I had no plans for inline interactive elements when I started out. It was just a plain static site using Astro, with my content in markdown files.

When I thought of including interactive elements, I saw that Astro supported MDX, which lets you embed custom JavaScript components. At the start I was just using plain JavaScript, SVG, and CSS transitions to do the animations, but as the simulations became more complex, I started using React to manage state better.

Thanks. Glad you liked it. This was my intention. Just trying my best to explain things I understand in a very clear and interesting way.

Hi, author here. Thanks for reporting this. Simulations were only downloaded when it scrolled into view. I deployed the change to download all simulations on page load and only play them when it scrolled into view.

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.

Thanks. Yes, I iterated multiple times with the goal of making the concepts very clear to understand.
