Of the top of my head I can think of Extreme Programming Explained, The Art of Agile Development, Software Teaming, The Pragmatic Programmer.

The best way to learn a new stack for me is to go through the book Exercises for Programmers ( https://www.programmingbooks.dev/#exercises-for-programmers ).

We do cross functional mob programming at my company with native iOS and Android apps. Works like a charm with a small team and I don’t think a react native app would offer any adv…

Yes! Reading programming books have been one of the best choices I've done with my career. I got so inspired by reading that I created a website just to try and help people read mo…

What books have you chosen to read and why? And, how did it go? I have my own website where I focus to help developers find what book to read based on a roadmap to be a master craf…

Isn't developing a product a team activity? I think the opposite, why turn a group activity into solo activities? Mob programming doesn't mean you can't work solo or in pairs somet…

If you have people wanting to hide from contributing then there is a bigger problem in the team I would say. But otherwise, why do you think it’s so bad?

It’s very strong of you to do something you don’t enjoy for 6 months giving it some real time. But I am curious what was it that made your productivity fall, and what didn’t you li…

Interesting thread. Some people are skeptical which is normal for anything new and and unfamiliar. But, some people say they just don’t want to work with people, which I would find…

Thanks, yes, it’s mine. Makes me happy you like it and maybe will find some value from it.

I found the book Exercises for Programmers ( https://www.programmingbooks.dev/#exercises-for-programmers ) to be invaluable to help learn new languages and frameworks. Beginners se…

We have now tried it for on one consecutive week and to my opinion with great success! The benefits that people are claiming I find are true, so far. It’s different, but it has alm…

Mob programming, the art of multiple programmers collaborating on one computer and still being efficient. Have you tried it and did it work out? By trying I mean doing it on produc…

Nice article, automation and consistency is powerful. I believe the command line will outlive most programming languages, editors, and IDE's. I can recommend reading the excellent …

It's a strong recommend from me too. I consider it a "must" read if you want to follow my roadmap ( https://www.programmingbooks.dev )

I'm almost finished with The Art of Agile Development( https://www.programmingbooks.dev/#the-art-of-agile-developme... ). I started reading 3 weeks ago and it's a chunky books. It'…

Is there a reason you don't read them cover to cover? I can understand that some books are more reference than narrative. Yet, I find that most books are usually a coherent whole t…

> I think it's more important to ask: how much have you _learned_ from reading technical books? I think that you learn at least something by just reading, another perspective on th…

I can recognize myself a lot in what you are experience. I have had a limited amount of seniority to learn from recent year and have found book a real gold mine of interesting idea…

I can recognise the problem you are describing of people reading and not reflecting before applying. I also see your point of limited time, and I don't think choosing work over fam…

Of course, reading without practice, reflecting, and discussions is meaningless. What kind of books have you found yourself reading the last couple of years and with did you like a…

So, it's the everyday challenges at work that motivates you on what books to read?

Crafting Interpreters and SICP are no small books to go through. I think those books are great but I also think that starting with them might not be a great thing (depending on int…

SICP is of course a big and long book that understandably takes a lot of time for most people to get through (depending on prior experience). There are many other good books that a…
