What's your favorite software engineering book? 📚

One of my favorites is certainly  "A Philosophy of Software Design" by John Ousterhout. It's relatively a short (170 pages) book and it's full of insightful and practical wisdom. 

John also gave a talk at Google:

2-a) "Almost every software development organization has at least one developer who takes tactical programming to the extreme: a tactical tornado. The tactical tornado is a prolific programmer who pumps out code far faster than others but works in a totally tactical fashion."

2-b) "When it comes to implementing a quick feature, nobody gets it done faster than the tactical tornado. In some organizations, management treats tactical tornadoes as heroes. However, tactical tornadoes leave behind a wake of destruction."

Here are some quotes from the book that I like:

1) "The most important issue in designing classes and other modules is to make them deep, so that they have simple interfaces for the common use cases, yet still provide significant functionality."
