When I switched to working on search my boss had written "Search Engines: Information Retrieval in Practice" and I found it very helpful for wrapping my head around the different subsystems that make up search. It took me about a

There's a blog post from the early 00s called The Joel Test for judging a software team. Using source control is actually the first question. Sounds like you reinvented it :) https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/08&
