I'll call this book "The Incomplete Guide to JavaScript". I'll explain JS stuff in simple terms and with simple mental models. I'll include regular caveats that these explanations are incomplete (and ultimately inaccurate) and only meant for initial learning.

Should I write an alternate (and much shorter!) version of @YDKJS that prioritizes "simple" explanations for things in JS, even if that means those explanations are not accurate? Should it just skip non-simple stuff? (or should I just leave that to many other book authors? ;)

(poll) Is it helpful/healthy/best for someone learning a new topic to learn a simplified (but ultimately inaccurate) mental model of it first, and then later (maybe!) learn additional layers that clarify/modify the mental model? Or is it better to learn accurately first?

Like @YDKJS but simple (and incomplete)!
