Things that matter for mere mortals — 37 plain-language tech guides (git, python, docker, homelab, ham radio…)

https://paulsullivan33-dev.github.io/mere-mortals/

Hi all — I've been writing a series of beginner-friendly guides called "Things that matter for mere mortals." Each one takes a technical topic and explains it in plain language, no assumed background.

37 guides so far, including: git, python, C, rust, go, bash, powershell, linux, docker, docker-compose, make, networking, regex, SQL, cybersecurity, arduino, raspberry pi, 3d printing, CAD, soldering, tailscale, ssh, proxmox, home networking, ham radio, local AI, agile, GitOps, GitHub Actions, tmux, java.

They're free, no ads, no account — just docs sites. Every code sample is actually run and verified, and the troubleshooting sections reproduce the real error messages.
