What I'm reading my way through. Ratings only on finished books, and only my own use of them.
Operating Systems: Three Easy Piecesreading
Working through this alongside the ostep-homework repo.
The Pragmatic Programmerfinished
Foundational software engineering practices. I would recommend everyone to read this (maybe even more than once), especially if you want to work on teams. Even if this book was published first 1999, all of the advice felt more relevant than ever. David and Andrew provided a great light read, love the names of the chapters. :)
We, Programmersfinished
A great read on the novelized history of the people who built computing. From the beginnings of programming with Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace till the current age of AI.

Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Softwarewant-to-read

But How Do It Know?finished
It was a pretty nice book, directed to teach non technical people how a computer actually works. Even if i was not the target audience i still had a great time reading it. Starting with a bits and explaining NAND gates you will finish with the concepts of an fully operational computer, like how RAM actually works.
