What are some books or resources that you would highly recommend? (Software Engineering)

I had picked up DDIA and was wondering if reading the entire book is actually worth it. Is it better to just go through some GitHub repos or blogs that summarise the book well? Also what are some books that have actually helped you through your software engineering career and you would highly recommend?
