Is this book worth reading for a developer?

I'm a software developer, not planning to become a system administrator, but I'd like to get a much deeper understanding of Linux. I noticed that the latest edition covers modern topics like systemd, containers, and cloud infrastructure, so it doesn't seem completely outdated.Would this book still be a good investment for a developer who wants to better understand how Linux systems work, or is it more useful for people working as full-time sysadmins? I'm looking for knowledge that will make me a better developer rather than preparing for a system administration career.
