simontatham, Why learning about computers is like a Metroidvania videogame:
Early on, you encounter huge walls of text – source code, documentation, log files, whatever – which you don't understand most of. You pick out the one part you need right now.
Later, you gain new skills and knowledge that would have let you understand more of it.
So, just like in a Metroidvania, it's worth going back over earlier levels, using your new skills to get more benefit from the places you've already been!
