I never found it helpful from a purely technical perspective, but I found it extremely eye-opening as an unorthodox approach to programming that really captured my imagination. It was definitely something that encouraged me to dig deeper into Ruby and do more explorative "creative" coding.

There's no shortage of dry technical documentation, so seeing something akin to outsider art in that space was really refreshing.

Personally I would love to see more technical books come with a soundtrack!
