  I recently compiled a list with more to read on the topic: https://github.com/madnight/awesome-category-theory

  Thanks for sharing this! I'm just getting my head around category theory (in Haskell).

  I would appreciate if anyone knows of a small project out there that uses category theory to learn how to design and architect a solution (even better if it's in Haskell!)

  Has anyone here ever used category theory in a business (or any purpose other than publishing papers)? (Don't give me "I used a monad once while programming", I mean the kind of stuff that book is about)

  CT is great if tou are into abstract math. And it is a complete waste of time if you are looking for ways to become a better developer.

  David Spivak is a treasure. One of the clearest expositors of category theory out there.
