I respect what you’re doing here, and I definitely find reading books a way to learn stuff and its something to try, but I’m one kind of learner and maybe you, and other folks, are another kind. I don’t think essentialising any one process of learning is a good idea.
Another thing I noticed is that you were talking to back enders. Maybe back end languages move at the speed of print, whereas the front end moves faster. By the time “The Big Book of Yarn”, or whatever it gets called, comes out, yarn will have killed npm almost entirely (it already has, but where are the books about it?).
And formal writing about stuff doesn’t just happen in books. The best docs for JS (on some level) is the MDN.
I guess I’m just venting because I found some of the stuff that the “you don’t know JS” guy has written in the past rubbed me the wrong way. But anyway, good luck!
