Ask HN: What books had the greatest effect on how you structure your code?

SICP made the biggest difference; it really changed the way I approach mutability and state management

SICP

I read GEB along with Design of Design years ago following my mentor at the times suggestion, I would highly recommend doing this.

Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid

Thinking, Fast and Slow

For a modern look at systems design i highly recommend "Designing Data-Intensive Applications (DDIA)" By Martin Kleppmann.

Code Complete by Steve McConnel

Code Complete was the first book that I read about how to structure code, and I've gained more from it on multiple rereads. I consider it a much better book.

By contrast Code Complete won't steer people wrong.

I second this. I read this book in my teens

the latter is worth reading too

One of the best books on programming style and function, backed up with actual research for the recommendations.

The Mythical Man month

Fountainhead

Go for Clean Code!

Clean Code

Javascript: The Good Parts

JavaScript, the Good Parts

Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software

Design patterns by GoF

why Design Patterns is a book to be careful with.

after reading and really loving Design Patterns

Design Patterns gets my vote.

Design Patterns by the Gang of Four.

This helped me break my analysis paralysis when it came to figuring out how to organize my code.

I've read it and I thought it has some good ideas.

And I enjoyed "Practical Common Lisp" by Peter Seibel too.
