And then as closing what are what is a book that you would recommend or multiple books I'll go with pragmatic programmer uh philosophy of software design by John Asterau and um I'd say the first like three chapters of DDD the Eric Evans book.
The best things said about it
We're reading a lot of like classics of software engineering. Refactoring clean code, the pragmatic programmer, like all that stuff is I think is more relevant now than it has ever been.
Why people recommend it
The Pragmatic Programmer by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas is a classic software engineering manual that outlines core philosophies, practical habits, and strategic methodologies for writing maintainable code. On The Pragmatic Engineer, Matt Pocock recommended the book during a discussion about AI skills, noting that he turned to his previously unopened shelf copy as his AI-generated code deteriorated, finding deep value in its timeless advice on software entropy and feedback loops. Pocock formally named the work among his top book recommendations alongside other industry texts. On the same podcast, Dex Horthy also endorsed The Pragmatic Programmer, observing that classic software engineering literature like this is more relevant today than ever before as his team actively reads through foundational texts. Across these episodes, podcast guests emphasized that possessing the shared language and strategic frameworks provided by Hunt and Thomas remains an indispensable asset for modern developers navigating complex technical environments and evolving industry standards.

“I just I opened a book that I had on my shelf that I I think was still wrapped in plastic the first time I took it out, which was the pragmatic programmer. Um, which is everyone told me to read it.”
“And I would say reading these books as well because just having the language to explain that and understanding the difference between applying strategic techniques and not uh is the whole game.”
