I find The Mythical Man-Month to be greatly out-dated now. Same for Design Patterns, it was a great book when OO was everywhere, but I have the feeling that FP is now on the raise, and most of the described patterns are anti-patterns.

Pragmatic Programmer is good for very junior devs. I read it after spending almost 10 years in the industry and thought that it was just a compilation of self-evident things.
