I really like the diagrams! This is a great way to show what happens deep down. A lot of engineers I know have very poor understanding of how software actually works. However a couple of things: - Theres a lot of text and not all of it is valuable - Hijacking the browsers "back" button is kind of annoying.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Regarding the back button issue, that was an oversight from my part. I'll fix that.

I am glad you liked the diagrams and simulations. I understand that it would have been better if the article was much shorter. I actually didn't want to leave any gaps in understanding or leave any important historical context. But i'll try to improve it.
