Just listened to episode 484 of the Changelog podcast[0] this week, where Brian Kernighan was being interviewed. I recommend giving it a listen. When asked for books or material he would recommend, he only mentioned two things; The Mythical Man Month and the transcript of the talk Hamming gave at Bell Labs in 1986 [1]. Having just read it just yesterday, I highly recommend it. What he says applies to any professional career, even outside research.
