The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master by David Thomas, Andrew Hunt

5.0

This is one of the most important books a professional programmer can read. The concepts are simple, but also aspects of the job that are just never discussed. Like "Provide Options, Don't Make Lame Excuses". I read it 15 years ago, and still remember their words: "How do you feel when your car mechanic gives you some lame excuse about why your car is late? Now how do you think your co-worker feels about your lame excuse?"
