As an aside for anyone who’s technical and wants to understand how most corporations work, read “Effective Executive.” It’s from the 60’s but is still very relevant.
It (more or less) is “how to be a knowledge worker.”

Also, it's a clickbait title. The actual article content is more like "how to become a barely competent junior programmer", written by a kid 5 years out of school who thinks he's "senior".
That's so counterintuitive, I simply cannot believe it's true.
No science course requires you to learn epistemology beforehand, which is why things like these happen. People keep on bringing mental speculation and debating philosophy which has pretty much been discussed to death thousands of years ago.
A good lecture on this topic: https://youtube.com/watch?v=4FQBs4K8EDo
PS: Not trying to dismiss the blog post, it tries to get close. It's a good read.
Do you have any pointers to an introduction to Sāṁkhya and Nyāya philosophy that might be good for beginners? Specifically people with no prior experience with Sanskrit or Hindu philosophy?
It sounds like you see value in (1). You're a little unclear on whether you want (2), since first you say your goal is not career progression, but then you ask how this is viewed by companies and recruiters.
From the perspective of someone who has been in the position of screening and interviewing technical candidates, both ICs and managers, most MS degrees don't add a lot to a resume IMO. If it's from a mid- or low-tier school, or an online program, I don't really put much stock in the quality of the program. Even upper-tier schools more and more give off the perception that you're just paying for a credential. I would say that if you have the motivation to learn the material on your own, and then put it into practice in a demonstrable way in your actual work (which seems like something that should be tractable, given your role), that would have more value.
The decline of Google's search performance is on the front page of HN at least once a week. It's common knowledge at this point.
Try Kagi if you want to be reminded of what good search is like.
