This is a great set of articles, thanks for sharing.
I place category theory within the same realm as the lambda calculus. Understanding category theory will enrich your understanding of the underlying computer science concepts, particularly with respect to functional programming. However, it's far more in the realms of computer science than software engineering. Software engineers can benefit from a conceptual overview, which this blog post provides in excellent form.
Unless your work involves formal proofs, I can't see many software engineering use cases where a more in-depth exposition would carry significant utility.
