Why This Blog Exists

Computer science education tends to exist in two extremes: tutorial blog posts that oversimplify until concepts become unrecognisable, and academic papers that assume you already have three degrees. ByteDepth lives in the middle — rigorous enough to satisfy a researcher, accessible enough for a working engineer.

Every article is written by someone who has implemented the concepts under discussion, often in the context of ongoing PhD research. We believe in showing real code, acknowledging trade-offs honestly, and citing primary sources so you can go deeper on your own.

Our Writing Standards

Before any article is published, it must pass four tests:

1. Every claim is traceable to a primary source (paper, RFC, kernel source, or specification).
2. Every code example runs without modification.
3. At least one team member who did not write it has reviewed it.
4. A non-specialist reader can follow the core argument.
