I think it's basically a course book, for some CS courses at MIT that it was originally used with, and that's it. It's not superb but ok, as far as "lecture notes" go, a bit pretentious and a bit idiosyncratic, probably due to being targeted mainly at students visiting a particular course of lectures. I don't think it's supposed to be a general "how to learn good programming"-style book although I don't think you've wasted time reading it.
