Book vs Blog is an arbitrary distinction. There are low quality books and extremely high quality blogs, and they both target different readers (blog often serves as an introduction to a subject).
What's funny in tech is corporate cargo culting. You'll see it quite often. Things like "we're a tech company" but there's no distinction between Software Engineering and IT. Or they still see both as a cost center.
Even better, "we're like Google" except they give you a blank stare where you ask about the 20% time, free food, compensation or where they hire from. Turns out it's all bootcamp/local wages no stock, no 20% time. But hey, they have beanbag chairs!
