The Elements of Computing Systems is a project-based course, starting with transistors going through building a computer and then an OS and software on top of it. Code goes deeper into the history leading to modern computers, but doesn't offer this project-based experience from the transistor level up. IMO, the two books offer a nice complement to each other.

As a reader of both books, I couldn't agree with you more.
