Author here. I don't recommend category theory. There are lower hanging more mind blowing fruit.
I'm having a hard time thinking about a blog posts worth of content that is mind blowing. Mind blows tend to take more investment than that.
I'd recommend checking out an algorithms course https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-006-introduction-to-algorithms-fall-2011/ https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-compu... This one is very good. Has free videos.
I'd recommend giving functional programming a try. I'm an FP fiend. I found SICP tough going though.
I'd recommend giving low level programming a try.
