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.
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!

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