I'm the owner of the repo. Thank you for posting this.
Many people here (and elsewhere) complain about the "curation" method I used, which is based on simple algorithmic rules instead of a subject matter expert curation. I totally understand their point. I admit that I misused the term "curated" here. I thought that algorithmic selection is a kind of curation.
When I made this, I didn't intend for a recommendation list. Instead, I intended for a comprehensive list excluding low-profile books. And there was a simple reason behind that: I don't know your experience level nor your preferences. You might prefer theoretical over practical books. Or prefer verbose over concise books. Or art-based over engineering-based books. Or and or and or. I will change "curated" to "comprehensive" in the repo description to reveal my purpose effectively and eliminate ambiguity.
You will end up with hundreds of almost unrated (zero raters) books without these seemingly simple algorithmic rules.
Don't be overwhelmed by the number of books on each subject. Practically speaking, you are supposed to read one or two books (maybe a little bit more for nerds?) on each subject that you are interested in. Deciding what to read is your business. Alternatively, you may go with the Goodreads community choice and start from the top of each list if you don't have the time to read reviews.
