I wish more explanations would go like this: iteratively. It's much easier for me to see where I suddenly start to struggle. The author also used language that feels more familiar to me, which helped a lot.
Unfortunately, a lot of writers just dump the information and use terms from different fields. And I get that, but it makes me slower to understand it.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. It's always been a frustration of mine (even reading / writing academic papers) when the author obfuscates or makes something more complicated than it needs to be.
You only truly understand something when you can explain it in lay (or close to) terms, I find.
I just want to say thank you to everyone who takes the time to write explanations and publish them for free, so that people like me can learn. Be that in the form of good insides like the ones in this article, blog posts, docs, tutorials, videos, etc.
What most help me is seeing different points of view. Sometimes the first explanation doesn't make sense, or the next one, but then you find someone who explains it from a different perspective and that's the one that makes you go ooohhh!
I adore explanations like that!
I was very good in math in school, but I always prefer this kind of explanations, that give a more intuitive vision (and it is a lot better to explain to other people).
