Explainers
Not everything needs to be a deep dive. Many times, we need a high-level, zoomed-out view of a system, explained as simply as it might be explained to a 10-year-old. However expert one may be, simple explanations still help. That is where explainers come in.
They do not just help the person reading them. They help the author too. Writing an explainer is a great way to understand a system better and identify gaps in your own understanding.
After all, what good is knowledge if it is not shared in language simple enough to understand?
