Dude who are you? Amazing work!!!

[stavalfi]

I read so much until now and it's such an amazing content!

I have no idea who are you and how you got so much information but damn... amazing!

Also it's such a great book because you are talking about really in depth useful information and great practical tips without just throwing us useless internal v8 / compiler info that the normal backend developer has nothing to do with it.

Keep up the great work, looking forward to read the next chapters!

Hi @stavalfi ,

Thanks so much! I'm really happy to hear that you find the content helpful.

I've always been in awe of libraries like RxJS and Webpack. That "wow" factor is what actually set me on my current path. As someone who dropped out of my CS degree, I decided to learn how these tools work from first principles - starting with computer organization and then assembly.

What I discovered over years of self-study is a huge gap for developers like us. There are plenty of beginner tutorials and dense, low-level articles, but almost nothing to help a good developer become a great one by gradually exploring advanced concepts.

That's the gap I'm trying to fill. My open-source contributions are my way of giving back, but it's also a win-win: I get to practice my technical writing, and I find that teaching a concept is the best way to master it myself.
