who it's for
You can build things. You're less sure how to be a developer.
This isn't a CSS tutorial. It's the surrounding stuff nobody teaches: how to read a design without guessing, how to push back on a spec, how to estimate without lying, how to leave code your future team can live with.
If you're a junior or self-taught dev in your first two years, it's written directly at you.
