Ask HN: Commissioning high quality deep dive blog posts
I am curious what the going rate for advanced technical writing is.
I tend to understand code by reading descriptions of algorithms and trying to implement them myself.
This usually involves having a critical insight into what the code does. Such as the category of problem the algorithm is.
Reading code and understanding an existing codebase is difficult and takes a long period of time.
I had the book open source architectures but I never finished that book due to illness.
There was a deep dive into the .NET CLR[1] but I want to see the cost of commissioning deep dives into the code of things such as LuaJIT, JVM, PyPy, Chromium V8, Postgresql, OpenTTD.
