I think a lot about how information about how computers work often seems to get passed down in an "oral history" kind of way

like how “the terminal” works is sort of documented, but it's made of so many components that the documentation is split across a million different documents

and some parts of "how the terminal works" are just broad conventions which aren't documented anywhere I know of (like “TUI programs like `top` or `less` will probably quit if you press `q`)
