Technology dissections — how common technologies actually work, from FOSS software to everyday hardware. Each page assumes no prior knowledge: it names the parts, then walks through the mechanism stage by stage, then explains the design tradeoffs.
| Technology | What it dissects | Audience |
|---|---|---|
| HowItWorks:MediaWiki | the wiki engine: PHP + MySQL, the wikitext → HTML pipeline, parser, skins, extensions | anyone curious how a wiki actually works |
| HowItWorks:Docker | the container platform: client–daemon–containerd–runc stack, images and layers, Dockerfile builds, OCI standards | anyone curious how containers actually work |
