Under the Web #00 - Why I'm Learning How the Internet Actually Works

I can deploy containers and configure APIs, but I don't actually understand how the internet works. Under the Web is a long-form learning series where I'm building genuine mental models of networking, internet fundamentals, and web architecture — starting from confused and ending with understanding. No textbook summaries, no pretending to be an expert. Just hands-on learning, real experiments, and honest documentation.
