Getting Real by 37 Signals. Rework wasn't as interesting having read Getting Real first. It's more developer centric too. http://gettingreal.37signals.com/

Definitely Getting Real (by 37signals). My bossed showed it to me shortly after I started in the tech industry. I remember being inspired by their process for producing products, and running a business.
