I would like to propose adding one of the best free educational resources, in my opinion, to learning DOD (data-oriented design): Handmade Hero and its community Handmade Network.

It's far more in-depth than many of these posts, and if you don't have direct access to someone with several decades of experience with DOD, Casey Muratori's network is invaluable. The caveat is that Handmade Hero is a video series. Roughly 1½ hours per episode and currently 667 episodes, and it's not that active anymore (I believe that's because Casey is busy with his Computer Enhance course and their game).

I'd say that the first 25 episodes are great at getting started with the fundamentals, if you're coming from SOLID/"Clean Code" and high level languages and not much experience with C. And the first 135-ish episodes contain a lot of gems here and there. A little bit of it is outdated by now but you can search your way to great examples of how to approach different problems from a DOD standpoint.

To be fair, he does not explicitly talk about DOD, although he does believe it's a synonym to what he does (1, 2, 3)

I don't know how you'd want to format it though, since it doesn't exactly fit your existing categories. And it was just brought to my attention that an Issue is better than a Pull Request in that case.
