• Code Complete by Steve McConnell
• Notation as a Tool of Thought by Kenneth E. Iverson (inventor of APL)
• Starting FORTH by Leo Brodie
• The Art of Assembly Language by Randall Hyde
• The Book of Informatics by John G. Gammack, Valerie Hobbs, Diarmuid Pigott (I haven't read the book fully. I just know the authors, particularly the last one and so have been hearing aspects of the book from him for some time)

[Max Ong Zong Bao]

• Debugging Teams by Brian W. Fitzpatrick & Ben Collins-Sussman
• Two Scoops of Django by Daniel Roy Greenfeld & Audrey Roy Greenfeld
• Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans
• Crushing It by Gary Vaynerchuk
• Softskills Software Developer's Life Manual by John Sonmez

[Dave van Herten]

Domain Driven Design by Eric Evans as well as all of Vaughn Vernon's followup books have probably had the biggest impact for me. Otherwise I second just about everything on this list, particularly Code Complete.

Practical Vim: Edit Text at the Speed of Thought by Drew Neil 😉

[Cesar Aguirre]

• Clean code
• The Art of Readable code
• The Art of Unit testing
• Patterns, principles and practices in C#

[Matt Eland]

Pragmatic Programmer, code complete, working effectively with legacy code, managing humans, the manager's path, debugging teams, turn the ship around, the Phoenix project, and the advantage all come to mind.

Solid books! I have the Phoenix project myself too!

Getting Things Done™️ by David Allen

[Teo Khai Kiong]

You Don't Know JS by Kyle Simpson 😁

[Roy Larsen]

The Phoenix Project

• Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

• The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

Development in my opinion is just learning how to use a tool, but learning how to use life is what can really shape careers.
