@milan_milanovic This is nice in theory, but doesnโ€™t work in reality. The art of computer programming by itself would take you almost a year to actually read and work through the problem sets to understand the concepts within.

@milan_milanovic By the time you will finish these books, entire software engineering could have been changed

@milan_milanovic Not even one single book on security? DevSecOps, shift left and all that jazz ?

@milan_milanovic An excellent list ๐Ÿ‘Œ

@milan_milanovic Excellent compilation! Clean Code and Designing Data-Intensive Applications remain essential. The mix of fundamentals (algorithms) with modern topics (ML/AI, leadership) creates a well-rounded learning path.

@milan_milanovic You guys read books ??
