It's not a book, but I thought this consolidated wisdom from a senior at a FAANG was extremely interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29322515 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29322515 While awkward, I think there's unfortunately quite a bit of weight to the idea of shared implicit knowledge that transcends what winds up written down, even within companies. I don't think there's a way to short-circuit past that point and achieve equivalent results. Not because sharing is implicitly magic (in the compsci sense) or anything, but because we seem to just be really really bad at serializing immediate social context.
