Preface: I don't mean to be rude or to flame, just stating a strong opinion. * Clean Code is a bad book (quick google search to reveal why). I don't know why people keep repeating the dogma. Not just that, but it could also be significantly shorter. * "For Dummies" series are generally known for not being the best, just subpar. No strong opinion on that one, however. * I've read Fluent Python cover-to-cover years ago, but looking back, consider it to have been a waste of time. You shouldn't have to read a manual on a programming language. * Microservice books are too specific to be applicable most of the time, especially not to "every software engineer". But I'd probably add DDIA to the list of great books in this area, and would prioritize reading that one first.

You're right. I have 4+ years of experience in the industry and I came to similar conclusions. I think most software engineers fall into a trap of doing nothing for their professional growth. It's not enough to just learn top 100 java interview questions every 2 years if you want to be a true professional. Maybe you'll get a job if you are good enough, but you won't move above mid/weak senior level without educating yourself. Also without learning you're gonna have problems when changing jobs

Out of interest, what was your approach to reading these books? Did you e.g. parse through every page in chronological order? How many concepts/chapters were reasonable to try to comprehend in one sitting? Approx how frequently did you test your new knowledge by applying it in practice? Great video by the way! Purchased Clean Code and Fluent Python.

Awesome! Yea I like to read them page by page from start to end. I don’t use books as dictionaries. I think it’s better to use internet for that. I am having a hard time focusing on reading a technical book for too long (especially when trying to dive deep into each statement) so I read 10-20 pages every sitting and I may sit like 3 times a day to read a book max. In terms of practicing - I was reading SQL book prev month and I was combining it with googling when I dont understand smth and then I did leetcode sql 50 list immediately after finishing the book.

The biggest catch 22 for me is learning to write scalable code without being in a company and working on a massive project. I can't get hired because I don't have the experience yet but at the same time I can't learn everything on my own because the more specialized and difficult a task becomes, the less information there is about it. I'm always scared of spending weeks doing something objectively wrong and then having to unlearn it.
