While i have so many things i could say about your idea of what development means and the "only path" you seem to subscribe to. I think you're missing the point of the book.
> it won't teach someone trying to learn programming much and it doesn't actually stand over about million other books about programming that really just scratch the surface and don't show how to write production ready code.
It's not a book to teach people how to program, infact the author goes out of their way to mention only C and minor c++ has been used and that it may be beneficial for learning how to build out such a POC of redis, to DIY your own.
This is not a book to hand over to an outsourcing company and expect production ready work. Nor was it described as such.
