Ask HN: How to self-learn electronics?

I'd recommend not linking to that series of posts. The author is a hothead and generally disliked by the entire electronics community.

Actually, there are some rumors about him that are quite unsavory, and I'm waiting until the cetacean equivalent of the #metoo movement to make an appearance on twitter to see the fallout from that.

Fair enough I guess, but I would also hate to deny people the same sort of easy path that allowed me to get interested in the subject and access a complicated topic.

Do you have any alternatives to recommend?

That comment is from the series' author, just doing a bit of his signature trolling for which he is so beloved on Hackaday.

I know he (Brian) has expressed that those articles generated underwhelming metrics for the amount of work they take, but they really are a useful resource for people looking to get an overview of their options. And I'm sure the Whalebait fiasco will blow over soon enough.
