Database Design for Mere Mortals. The first afternoon I spent reading and puzzling through that book was worth an entire semester of computer science classes on the topic — and caused me to fall in love with relational databases. With special mentions to K&R as well as The Manager’s Path.

The Pragmatic Programmer (Andrew Hunt, Dave Thomas), The Manager's Path (Camille Fourier), How To Win Friends and Influence People (Dale Carnegie). These books helped me to realize that many insecurities I had where "common" in Software Engineering field. The last one is especially good if you're looking for improve your relations with people.

A few recommendations from me and peers in my company who highly value some of the following: - "Managing Humans" by Michael Lopp very insightful and easy to read. - "Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps: Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations" by Dr Nicole Forsgren brings a long research on how to organize teams for success. - "The Manager's Path: A Guide for Tech Leaders Navigating Growth and Change" by Camille Fournier which I especially recommend for new managers. Lastly, and this time not tech-specific, but by far my best read of 2019: "Trillion Dollar Coach: The Leadership Playbook of Silicon Valley's Bill Campbell" written by Eric Schmidt & others.
