What Hacker News says

4 sources
I would find it very difficult to recommend this book - I think parts of it are simply factually mistaken, unfortunately, and I worry someone using knowledge from it would make themselves look like more of an imposter, not less. https://github.com/imposters-handbook/feedback/issues/50 The book itself is a good idea and the author seems to have good intentions even if they didn't take advice in this case, though.
In Ask HN: What book to read to get a footing in CS theory?
I think it's well intentioned and the author seems like someone who has put a lot of work into something they think is important, but it contains some terrible technical misunderstandings, and that's a real shame as I cringe thinking about a developer without a CS degree who's read this book to make themselves more confident in interviews repeating some of the stuff in it. https://github.com/imposters-handbook/feedback/issues/50
