My 30 years of experience with bad code says 1) figure out what code is supposed to do 2) write out specifications 3) write new code 4) delete bad old program. In the long run, it takes less time to write new code than correct old code.

FWIW Grokking Algorithms has an update coming out later this month (March 2024). Thanks for the list. It's been a while since I've read any software engineering stuff so now may be a good time to revisit the topic.

Man I like this list of books much more than the one from last year! I've read some of the ones mentioned here and from last year's now and I feel like this list really captures a concise list of valuable books in all these areas. One other suggestion I would like to add is The Effective Engineer by Edmond Lau. It's a really great book condensing soft skill development and growing personal impact, supported by many interesting anecdotes from accomplished software engineers.

A Philosophy of Software Design by John K. Ousterhout -- super underrated

IanMihura

Love the bit about Clean Code/Clean Architecture. Too many projects end up following that approach and ending up with all this extra work for an app that serves like three pages... it's rife in the .NET ecosystem.

Thanks for the DS/ML recommendations. I've been looking for really solid books to add to my list for the better part of a decade.

Utsa, hello. I'm Oscar and I greet you from here in Peru. I'm a last year student of Software Engineering. I want to thank you for taking the time and recommend us the right books that every Software Engineer should read in this 2024. Really, they are interesting. I will tell you that neither web nor mobile development is my forte. I am more interested in Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing (AWS or Azure), software architecture and DevOps. I am researching about how DevOps methodology is applied in Startups to keep offering high value software to their customers and how this methodology makes Startups much more competitive than others. So, wish me luck!

Thank you Utsav. I appreciate your way of video making and your book suggestions. Keep making these kind of videos. You never know what impact they have on different people. If possible, take some topics and try to explain it in simpler words. - Raghav

Hi Utsav! I just wanted to let you know that I agree with all the book recommendations, and I’ve actually bought a few of them recently. However, I wanted to suggest a book that I believe would be a great addition to the list. It’s called "Unit Testing: Principles, Practices, and Patterns" by Vladimir Khorikov. I found this book to be very helpful in understanding the importance of unit testing, and it really expanded my knowledge on the topic.

I'm a simple man, I see Utsav i give upvote. Thanks for all you do, bro. You've made the Dev part of my devops journey pretty smooth.

Thanks for the list! Especially on DS/ML! Cannot disagree more on the necessity of SDE to know about AI moving forward

The fact that most of the book in this vid looks brand new gave me mind peace.

System Design Interview (Volume 1 and 2) by Alex Xu & Sahn Lam are the closest I've found to a perfect book on a topic. I think I like them even more than "the red book", but they don't go into quite the depth. But for anyone visual learners out there, these books are invaluable at providing a very solid understanding of system design since the information is provided via realistic examples with plenty of graphs, charts, etc.

They are kind of similar to Grokking Algorithms in their style, but with more real world examples.

Thought this video seemed really weird since 2 videos ago you said books are a waste of time. I'm glad you addressed that at the beginning 👍

Just got back on route, I have bombarded myself with a lot of stuff to learn. But this video really made me stop and organize my way. As these books seems awesome and as represented in order makes sense. Thanks for this beautiful video and very calming background of your setup that also acutely keeps me engaged. 😄

I was looking for the books for software engineers and bang on I find this video....
All the books suggested are pretty awesome and good according to their use case you can try them out before criticizing.
Great work Utsav... :)
