Author's comments in reddit post where I found this:
It's been pointed out by a couple people (I think I saw it from Bruno Gavranovic a while back) that there's a lot of these types of "Category theory for X" types of books, dating all the way back to the "Working Mathematician".
Thought it'd be cool to compile all the books and PDF's following this schema I could find - there's some really unusual applications further down the list.
Hope this might be interesting or useful on this subreddit - and if I'm missing anything, let me know!

Where's "category theory for people who struggle with basic calculus?" That's the one I need.
Jokes aside, looks like a good list! People say that you should learn category theory if you use Haskell, but I've done okay writing Haskell without knowing anything about it. Is it useful?
