"The Pragmatic Programmer" by Andrew Hunt. If you're from computer science or related background, it's a must read. The book was written in 1999 but quite relevant even today. I'd go so far ahead to say that if every developer starts following these basic principles, the amount of technical debt in the IT industry may easily get reduced by over 80%!

The 2nd edition came out a few years ago btw.
Interesting. Are there some new insights in that applicable to modern programming?
Yeah there are a few more updates.
