To add to suggestions of others, the SQL Antipatterns was also an insigtful read about basic pitfalls of db design. I have also found first chapters from Designing Data Intensive Applications helpful to get context around sql/nosql dbs

This, exactly. Perhaps counterintuitively, having less time enables me to do more. Also, I stopped doing optimizations & just try to deliver the basics. I realized a lot of time was eaten by optimizations, while other, more important t

I develop a system to monitor energy production of solar panels. Before I helped build a system to manage large number of EV charge points. There is some web frontend, but most of the work is in the IoT communication, scaling, and insights

I think a good starting point is to integrate the principles described in the Simple Made Easy[1] & Hammock Driven Development[2]. These are overarching first principles that help in designing and writing code, but also in communicatio
