I am an early career dev with a few years of experience primarily in the frontend domain. I want to read atleast 2 technical books next year to upskill in general as a software engineer. Please share your recommendations.

Recommend Technical Books

Hey I'm a backend developer, almost 1 year into my career.
Could anyone recommend any must read books for building strong fundamental knowledge?

Book recommend ?

Going through the job posting I've seen this sentence pop up in the requirements multiple times:
"Have delivered, extended, and maintained large scale distributed systems."
I'm having a hard time understanding what this means in a job context. Can anybody explain with like a simple example of delivering a distributed system that would make them eligible for this requirement? If I'm working on a webapp that uses tech like kaftka and zookeeper, can I consider myself as meeting this requirement?

What are distributed systems in Job context?

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?

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

How do i learn about architecture and the working of various softwares?

I know github can be one way but there's no consolidated resource and also most of softwares are not oss.

Learning architecture of softwares

As a part of many people's nye resolution like mine is to read more books,
 I want to read a book in 2-3 months since I am on beginner level😅
Please suggest some good books for personal improvement including - tech, finance, self help, fitness

My personal favorites - 
1. Atomic habits 
2. Ikigai
3. Clean code
4. Tuesdays with moorie
5. Rich dad poor dad

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I'm a PM with 2.5+ years of experience. I have a habit of reading product management newsletters. But now I'm planning to start with good product management books. 

Suggest a book that you've read and was practically useful in your work. This can help folks like me facing this issue of choosing between an ocean of books out there.

Suggest the best PM book you've ever read

Product Manager

Has anyone cracked a sustainable yet effective system design learning growth plan here besides working in a full time 5 day wfo job?

Not looking for a job search purpose, but to truly learn the system design in depth. 

I have tried: 

1. Reading company system design blogs: Besides a blog or two, all blogs feel very random since they talk about very specific use case in a tech that I haven’t worked with. 
2. Reading DDIA book: Book seems good but goes in really deep to everything, so can’t read for long in a sitting. 

What have you tried?

System Design Reads
