The Pragmatic Programmer is one of those rare tech audiobooks you’ll listen, re-listen, and listen to again over the years. Whether you’re new to the field or an experienced practitioner, you’ll come away with fresh insights each and every time.
Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt wrote the first edition of this influential book in 1999 to help their clients create better software and rediscover the joy of coding. These lessons have helped a generation of programmers examine the very essence of software development, independent of any particular language, framework, or methodology, and the Pragmatic philosophy has spawned hundreds of books, screencasts, and audio books, as well as thousands of careers and success stories.
Now, 20 years later, this new edition re-examines what it means to be a modern programmer. Topics range from personal responsibility and career development to architectural techniques for keeping your code flexible and easy to adapt and reuse. All the old favorite topics are there, updated for this new world. And there's a bunch of new content, reflecting what we've learned in the intervening years.
Whether you’re a new coder, an experienced programmer, or a manager responsible for software projects, use these lessons daily, and you’ll quickly see improvements in personal productivity, accuracy, and job satisfaction. You’ll learn skills and develop habits and attitudes that form the foundation for long-term success in your career. You’ll become a pragmatic programmer.
This audiobook is organized as a series of sections, each containing a series of topics. It is read by Anna Katarina; Dave and Andy (and a few other folks) jump in every now and then to give their take on things.

Amazing update

I thought a book on programming wouldn't carry over well to audio form. However, the others took pains to keep the code examples very simple and generic.
What I found most interesting is how the authors noted the programming examples are inserted dynamically into the book - it wasn't copied and pasted, it's essentially "compiled" into the text of the manuscript, making it easy to modify, test and "deploy" the code to the book.
I appreciate their commitment to sound password advice and how they debunk oft-heard guidance like "users should have to change their passwords regularly."
Interesting perspective on scrum - and the authors are two of the signatories of the scrum manifesto. They describe how most companies form a "cargo cult" around adopting a few scrum terms and ceremonies, but don't use them effectively, not actually realizing the true purpose of scrum. It seems the purpose it to do whatever is most effective in your situation, to keep experimenting and observing what actually works the best. I appreciate that; in my experience, every tech company claims to follow scrum, but actually doesn't.
Not bad
