The Pragmatic Programmer was the first book I read and said, wow, finally a book that covers what truly matters.
Designing Data-Intensive Applications is one of my latest technical readings and probably the most complete book I've read about modern system design and architecture.
And Thinking, Fast and Slow is a masterpiece! Even though is not an engineering book, it's a must for everyone!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about them, Adlet.
Books will always remain as the most powerful tool of empowerment of the reasoning! The AI thing will always remain as a parrot, but a powerful parrot.
Spot on, I have gone through Thinking Fast and Slow and Designing data intensive applications. Both dense but absolute gems, changes perspective. Earlier like oh I need to learn Postgres. Mongo, Cassandra etc etc but one DDIA teaches what goes underneath and you get the ability to reason. Sure each tech has its own curve but once you know the internal you know you can master it if required
hey Shailendra! Absolutely agree. Both are game-changers. It's amazing how understanding the underlying principles gives you a new lens to evaluate any tool or system.
Brilliant choices!

Thank you for sharing Rafa! My go-to list 🙌🏻
DDIA is a prerequisite to being a successful developer.
1000%
"Don't live with broken windows" is definitely a mindset for all engineering.
Yes, that really resonates and pays off a lot over the course of a career!
Love the Clean Architecture, a must in my opinion
A really nice read on building loosely coupled components 👍🏻
You can take a look also my books -> https://kristiyanvelkov.com/?gi=4189cf39a935f39fade4ffaf91763cdfc8abd3f2
I’ll have a look. Thank you for sharing Kristiyan!
Definitely, highly recommend Thinking fast and slow and must to read 1 book in life time
Agree, thank you for sharing it Kannan!!

All great books. I recently wrote a review of DDIA book: https://newsletter.techworld-with-milan.com/p/what-i-learned-from-the-book-designing.
really nice read, thank you for sharing it Milan!
Now do Top 10 books that are great under a monitor :-)
for sure :D

Love the list!
DDIA is an amazing book, basically the encyclopedia of engineering IMO!
Spot on!! Thank you for sharing it Konstantin!
