I have been trying to learn #categorytheory for a while and I got lost in all books I had tried so far.
I can now say that I found the one that has been clearing things up for me. 11/10 worth.
Category Theory for Programmers
(Available as a PDF)

@natecull @fabianhjr PDF here, for future reference: https://github.com/hmemcpy/milewski-ctfp-pdf
@fabianhjr Yes, it's amazing. Among the best technical/science writing there is, yet available for free.
@fabianhjr There is also a series of videos, see https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbgaMIhjbmEnaH_LTkxLI7FMa2HsnawM_
@alanz tried to watch them a while back but honestly I couldn't follow trough. The book though is on another level; really high quality with good questions at the end of each chapter to be sure you understood the concepts.
@alanz @fabianhjr This is great, thanks for sharing guys.
@fabianhjr This may be of use for CC: @natecull, who conjectured that set theory could be a useful mathematical to build upon the anti-web metaverse.
I come from discrete maths and graph theory. Categoriy theory seems to be somewhere superposed with both.
Thanks Fabian.
