Well, taken to the limit, something like https://ncatlab.org/nlab . (I do endorse, but am no category theory wise by any stretch of the imagination.)

By default being extremely skeptical of all things computing related, and general being dour about the mainstream trends also helps. Skepticism is what allows separating the accidental and essential complexity, as some term it. Only learn the essential parts.

I read some of the introductory pages such as their perspective, but unfortunately, I think this is mostly beyond my level of comprehension.

I don't really get category theory in layman terms.

However, it does seem like this is really powerful for whomever understands and adopts it.
