DDIA, SICP, and PAIP have been on my reading lists for years. Maybe I’ll finally get round to them after this glowing review :)
- The Pragmatic Programmer -
This changed my life when I started programming 20 years ago. Most of the practices are now common, but it was almost radical back then.
- Designing Data Intensive Applications
This is so well written, so elegantly fundamental. It's an absolute pleasure, even if I don't really refer to it in practice.
- Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
In many ways, the MIT version of PAIP. Its elegance complements the pragmatism of PAIP well.
- The unicorn project
My number 5 book varies often, because I haven't found many books that reach the writing quality of the other 4. This is a business novel, but it really solidified a lot of concepts for me: lean, queues, theory of constraints, what devops is about, working as a programmer in a business.
