Love the concept, but after reading the sample ( https://pragmaticurl.com/book-sample ) I suspect the target audience is extremely junior people. The sample content starts by explaining things like the difference between backend, frontend, and mobile.

Also the writing style feels reminiscent of what happens when you ask ChatGPT too broad of a question: You get an overly generic response that assumes you’re starting from absolute zero knowledge about anything about the topic. Probably a great book for someone starting from absolute zero industry knowledge who wants each thing explained in the simplest terms possible.

The author says at the very beginning this is the book he could have read at the start of his career, so yeah.
