10 / EXPLAINED
A guild needs more than people who can cast the spell. Someone must understand why it works, when to use it, and what happens to the people around it. These 103 videos explore that wider craft: the web beneath your first project, the systems behind a working product, and the choices behind a career or business. Each episode has a written companion with an example, an argument, or a question worth carrying into your own work. Follow the technical foundations in order, or choose the conversation that meets you where you are.
Build a mental picture of a page, then follow its requests through the network to the programs answering them.
Make deliberate choices about scope, structure, and complexity. Learn to explain why a design deserves the machinery you give it.
Follow data through storage, copies, containers, and gateways. Ask what survives an interruption and what a waiting user actually experiences.
Explore ownership, customers, careers, and emerging technologies through conversations that connect ambitious ideas with the decisions needed to pursue them.
Trace the work by hand. See why a shortcut is justified, what it remembers, and which assumptions keep it correct.
Hear Arthur in conversation with other hosts, then reflect on the craft, judgment, and responsibility behind a life in technology.
