A better title would have been "junior dev compiles collection of his favorite links".
You are mostly right

#42Very nice list... I do wonder how much money the author/contributors make by having Tuple's ad at the top of this popular readme file.
It’s a time-bounded experiment with sponsorship (3 months) and it earned me roughly a 1 month rent (before tax)
thank you for the transparency in your comment.

#44If you are starting your career and panic reading such list, that would take years to learn, if even. Don't worry. Most of these items are more like nice to know than should know. Yeah it would be great if every software developer knew everything. But I doubt even the repository owner know all that is listed. My best advice to newcomers is get your hands dirty and stay away from endless hours of courses, YouTube vide…
The repository owner does not know everything, and has already forgotten many things he used to know from the list But it’s a distilled and curated list of the resources I’ve found important to have at hand and revisit periodically
That's nice and all except the title is misleading and discouraging to new devs. I would even put a disclaimer on top of fixing the title.
But I guess it wouldn't be clickbaity then.

There is a disclaimer, but not very clear I guess

I spent some time looking into prices, and there are repos that have a tiered system with sponsorship
The top tier is 1000$/m sponsorship , for which you get a larger size of the company logo showed on top of the repo
