Oh I know Donald Knuth from the Lex Fridman podcast. I am noting that it was written in 1994. Would any problems result from this?

No but it's a maths textbook more than anything else. Not really a starting point for the sort of thing you're describing.

It’s a fundamentals thing, you will have to practice it a lot before it clicks and becomes practical for you to use on a daily basis.

But it won’t help you land a job at a startup, for that you need to learn JavaScript or C++
