Show HN: A blog on how computers work from scratch (1)
I started learning and writing up this blog in my own words, combining multiple resources until I feel comfortable in my understanding and then writing them down on my own. No AI here (other than help during the learning). This is article 1 of the series. Started understanding the flow of things from wall outlet, I know I skipped the things around how sand turns into a chip, but it would have gotten very long, maybe a story for another time. Looking for some feedback.

Who is affected
Identify the existing workflow this change affects before recommending an upgrade. Launch attention does not establish improvement; an API, pricing or availability change may instead create migration work.
Missing comparison points
Missing checks: old versus new behavior, affected plans and regions, availability date, compatibility, rollback path and cost under the same workload.
Migration check
Save the release or policy notice, run the same task on the old and new option, and compare outputs and the full bill. For retirement notices, verify the deadline before scheduling migration.
