The main requirement for annular ring size comes from the alignment tolerance between the conductors in the vertical stack and the edge of the drill bit when the holes are drilled: If the PCB factory can't guarantee better than +/- 5 mils of alignment accuracy, the annular ring must be at least 5 mils so that the drill does not break out of the edge of the pad once plated.

I jumped into PCB design with no EE education. I learned a few of these tricks from my mistakes and realizing why things were not working as expected. Some of these things are also new to me, glad I watched 👍

Wouldn't you want to place the decouppling capacitor closest to the IC and THEN place the VIAs (so your arrangement would look as following: VIA -> capacitor pad -> IC power pin)? Since with your arrangement, in the instant of the IC requirimg more current the direction of flow of current will be capacitor -> VIA -> IC and ... -> VIA -> IC pad and after that, when charge will be moved back to the capacitor the direction of flow of current will be ... -> VIA -> IC and ... -> VIA -> capacitor. This would result in a much bigger change of the electromagnetic field, compared to having a uniform direction of flow of current from the "VIA -> capacitor -> IC"-arrangement.<br>Edit: please correct me if I'm wrong
