I fully agree that there is significant value in what the author writes even if there was more of the sort of crystallization of experience into learning. I just thing that this method of learning-- which seems not just useful but essential in learning how to write performant and less buggy code.
As I said, experiential learning and learning from others will always be important & valuable, as it is in any field. I just think the balance between that and more established best practices is weighted too heavily toward the "figure it out for yourself finding ad hoc sources" side of things.
