The Pragmatic Programmer
From Journeyman to Master
Book • 1999
The Pragmatic Programmer is a book that centers on how to use software to solve problems effectively and how to grow as a developer pragmatically.
It was first published in 1999 and a 20th Anniversary Edition was released in 2019.
The book emphasizes key qualities such as being an early adopter, having fast adaptation, inquisitiveness, critical thinking, realism, and being a jack-of-all-trades.
It uses analogies and short stories to present development methodologies and caveats, including concepts like DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It), and rubber duck debugging.
The book covers topics such as writing clean code, estimating software delivery, instituting change, combating stagnancy, and making software processes resilient and efficient through automation and testing.
