    Yeah when I’m teaching new networking guys how binary and hex works I always reference the changeover from 9- the next place (tens, hundreds, thousands) to conceptualize the idea that we count the way we do only because of base ten.

    In order to teach alternate forms of counting you have to first break someone out of the idea that base ten is “how it’s done” which is difficult because we never mention in education prior to college or trade schools that you can count with literally any number of symbols if you wanted to.
