There's no 10 ways about it, Subnets are Genius
The power of binary in action!
I would hazard a guess that the vast majority of people who have ever had to enter in a "subnet mask" into their network settings have no idea what it means, much less the amazingly powerful and beautifully simple solution to the problem it solves. In this post, we'll peel back the mystery, talk a little binary and basic computer operations, and hopefully do it in a way that even a non-technical person could understand.
