Is there a nice resource somewhere where one could endeavor to learn about how LaTeX works internally? Because all those tricks look like they follow some internal logic that I am entirely unfamiliar with.

Those who endeavor to understand the inner workings of the LaTeX codebase only have pain and suffering awaiting them.

For example, http://latex-project.org/svnroot/experimental/trunk/l3kernel... or even http://latex-project.org/svnroot/experimental/trunk/l3kernel...

I haven't looked at it in some decades, but Knuth's original TeX book was surprisingly readable and informative.
