The Year’s Almost Over — What Tech Stuff Did You Read?

This year I went full Breaking Bad mode on tech books — and read almost nothing else. You can have different opinions about how useful these books are, and it really varies from one to another. Some of them are genuinely important and can reshape the way you think about architecture or how you approach building applications.

Here’s the list of books I covered this year:

1. Clean Architecture – Robert C. Martin
2. Database Internals – Alex Petrov
3. The Linux Command Line (2nd Edition) – William E. Shotts Jr.
4. Clean Code – Robert C. Martin
5. Building Microservices (2nd Edition) – Sam Newman
6. Designing Data-Intensive Applications – Martin Kleppmann
7. The Intelligent Investor – Benjamin Graham

So what about you—what did you read this year, and was it useful?
For me personally, Building Microservices was the most valuable one, partly because I’m currently in the process of splitting a monolith into microservices on my project 😄
