I really enjoy articles like this. My job responsibilities require a knowledge split about 67% software and 33% hardware. While I've been building circuits since the early 1980's, I never got the hang of analog in college (yes, I know, "everything is really analog"). I know enough to follow examples and spot issues or contentions or oversights but I don't know enough to do __efficient__ ground-up design, just naive circuits that burn a lot of power or are noisy at higher frequencies (I'm pretty sure I'll never get RF).
Articles like this that start from highschool circuits and move to professional discussion are super useful to refresh my memory neurons. DigiKey has a huge number of articles like this, which walk you from the naive circuit and then point out errors (e.g.: https://www.digikey.com/en/articles/how-to-power-and-control...)
