#4History is such a great way to learn anything.
It’s interesting - like a mystery revealed, but also provides the why - why things are the way they are.
I was looking into accounting the other day, and you can go back to the first document that mentioned credit and debit and introduced modern accounting. There are so many topics like this that seem confusing and arbitrary but it all began extremely simply and pragmatically. Music theory is another example of a fun topic to study historically. And programming languages and operating systems.
It’s important to use two learning paths though: historical and modern scientific. Historical usually explains terminology and legacy aspects of such topics, but then topics can also be explained by using modern technology to experiment and observe.
Think about unix - it was primarily designed for very low power low memory environments. And databases too. You can learn a lot poking at an existing system, but when you watch the early content on it, you see the why.

If you don't, would recommend listening to ATP, which he's a cohost on. Still a joy to listen to.

http://newosxbook.com/home.html for the lazy :)
They are an updated and much expanded version of "Mac OS X and iOS Internals: To the Apple′s Core" by the same author.
Which in turn was an updated version of "MAC OS X Internals: A Systems Approach" by Amit Singh.

Neutral and then ATP is what got me into listening to podcasts. Still a great one to this day!
Their interview of LLVM co-founder/Swift architect Chris Lattner is def a good listen for historical background: https://atp.fm/205-chris-lattner-interview-transcript

That's a great one. There's another one with Chris Lattner as well (https://atp.fm/371).
