Focused on systems and design for backend devs: 1. High Performance Browser Networking 2. Designing Data-Intensive Applications 3. Site Reliability Engineering: How Google Runs Production Services 4. Effective Python: 90 Specific Ways to Write Better Python I wrote in a bit more detail here: https://notes.eatonphil.com/books-developers-should-read.html https://notes.eatonphil.com/books-developers-should-read.htm.... Personally I would definitely not put Pragmatic Programmer, Clean Code or Philosophy of Software Design on the list (of required reading). I think they're good but not great.
