A Philosophy of Software Design is very good. Not the whole of it but it’s short and to the point.

I still thought it was a worthwhile read and will probably include it in a list of books I'd recommend to a mentee in the future.

I think that would be better off in a different book rather than as a part of this book. It is better to provide a clear and memorable picture that is only slightly wrong than a hedging and muddled picture that is still slightly wrong.

This book brilliantly illuminates the deepest issues at the core of software development. It is a well-written, gentle read. I have been programming for close to 50 years now, and this is probably the best and most insightful book I have ever read on software development.

I came here to recommend this one, very digestible and has had a significant impact on the quality of the software I write.
