Paying remote workers differently solely depending on their zip code is immoral. If you can afford to hire from both San Francisco and St Louis, you can afford to pay both the same for the same work. If you can't afford SF rates, that's fine too! blairreeves.me/2020/05/22/pa…

Not sure if this is really what you are looking for, but The Soul of A New Machine by Tracy Kidder is stunning.

I think packtpub.com/application-dev… fits those criteria. Teaches statically typed functional programming and ReasonML to boot (with comparisons to JavaScript). Full disclosure: I'm a coauthor :-)

“The Philosophy of Software Design”. Rides a good line between fluffy design and recognisable challenges and actionable solutions.
Nice and short too!

Grokking Algorithms is a great read although it’s about algorithms. But it reads a thriller! Highly recommended. Grokking Algorithms amazon.de/dp/1617292230/ref=… – at Vienna, Austria

"Practical OO Design in Ruby" by Sandi Metz is great. I think the ideas apply well outside of just OO, and I think the Ruby is pretty approachable even with just JS knowledge.
Sandi has some great talks on youtube too. (Magic Tricks of Testing in particular)

It is mostly about data structures (sorry) but the Impostor's Handbook is A+.

"Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software"
Shows how to build a programmable computer starting with a basic electrical circuit with one light and reads like a thriller. It's fundamentally a book about the nature of abstraction in computer science.

As a Software Engineer in Test on a mobile team, I am across 5 languages/toolsets;
Kotlin for android
Swift for iOS
Java - appium for the few mobile tests we can't automate using native tools
C# for our backend API's
C# and specflow for our BDD web UI

This is the first instalment of a blog series where I look under the hood of some popular libraries and platforms. First out is #reactjs
What codebase should I investigate next?
Follow along in this analysis of the @reactjs source code in "Under the Hood: Prioritizing Technical Debt in React": empear.com/blog/codescene-pr… #reactjs #programming
