Oh I love this.

it's a good framing!

As someone who has aspired to learn more about kernel development but didn't quite manage to ever find the time to get into it (and even if I had... well then I get the privilege of going to LKML. Whee). I really appreciate people taking the effort to make this stuff less magic and more accessible.

did you write this Steve? because it's very good. super easy to understand, i think even for novices.

And CPUs are just state machines!

Thanks for sharing this @steveklabnik.com! I am a beginner writer so this kind of feedback means a lot. I'm turning this into a whole series, making topics like this less mystical for devs.

oh that's incredible! please keep us updated ;D

oh man, well, please keep going! this is *very* well done.

It's a pity that it doesn't actually explain anything about how the kernel works... or is started... or does anything... hopefully that's eventually explored, because there's a lot of great stuff to learn about what makes OSes tick, and yes, none of it is mystical or impossible to understand.

i love how this is written and presented
