I'm currently trying to teach a friend structured software design via the https://deinprogramm.de [0] approach based on Racket/Scheme, resisting a friends opinion on it being not useful enough in industry and all that. The thing is, that while I'll have an easy time finding her a job with no real experience if she can demonstrate a structured approach I can vouch for, the opposite is far harder. If she can write python, fine. But no one will pay her/teach her without a long trade school contract if she can't demonstrate that she can be left alone with a task that takes 50~150 hours. Or at least that she only lacks a bit experience and needs some guidance to end up with a concise overall design.

Considering that the most senior engineers spend far more time on high-level design than on coding, it seems the better carreer path.

The book you search might be the one linked below, btw.
