the work book club is nearly done with clean code and they're looking for the next one! if anyone has any recommendations for that "kind" of thing (general interest, approachable for juniors, not too language-specific.... but, um, better than uncle bob pls) I am interested. special interest in stuff on the newer end that people might not know about 👀

@maya THE ESSENCE OF SOFTWARE by Daniel Jackson is a good read that touches system design and UX and formal specification. I really liked it and have pushed it on a buncha coworkers.

@maya Check out "Clean Architecture"

@maya A Philosophy of Software Design by John Ousterhout. Short and sweet.

@maya I share your opinion on the book "Clean code". I offer my own short essay "40 years of programming" as an example of something different. I'm sure there are other such essays that are better written, but I've failed to keep a list.
