This piece looks great, adding to my ever-growing "to read" collection on Zotero.
If anyone is interested in self-studying quantum physics, QFT for the Gifted Amateur [1] is very well regarded.

Second this book, but you need a source before this to study QP successfully. This requires a lot of UG maths and physics knowledge that I think most would not have.
I like QM for engineers.
It is much more shut up and calculate.
But I do believe that is atleast in part Feynmans point. The way we have explored QM for the past... 120 years (? Wow is it really that old!?) is you don't need to understand it, here are the rules and tools to carry out extraordinary calculation.
I believe the likes of Sean Caroll are trying to bring understanding back to physics and meet philosophy.

It really depends on your goal. If you wish to use it day to day then you do need to understand it but yes you can use the handy Dirac notation to let you calculate lots without ever going too deep.
