I've really enjoyed it. I've been following Shawn for a long time and was excited when he dropped the book. I bought the pre-release when he announced it and then also the full Creators edition when it was on the release sale.
The entire book resonates around the concept that he has preached for a long time, and has brought him to where he is in tech quickly, which is "learn in public." If this is something that interests you, then you'll gain a lot of knowledge from this book. If not, you'll still gain a decent amount, but it may not resonate as much with you. I don't think it's a great immediate book for the code newbie, but provides for everyone that is from junior-senior, it lines out a lot of great concepts. Also, the curated links throughout the book to dig deeper into concepts are really great. I actually recommend the $99 version with updates for life (which he is already actively planning v2) and access to the Discord community. Shawn is very active and constantly posting more and more knowledge there as he finds it. All in all, I'm not disappointed in the money I've spent on it at all.
Dang, you really convinced me. I just looked up his article on "learn in public" and it's awesome. I'm going go ahead and buy it soon. Thank you so much!
