  3. Software Engineer
    A Field Guide to the Profession
    Joel Bryan Juliano

This book is for the gaps — everything around the code that nobody explains and everyone learns the hard way. The inside account of what a technical interviewer is actually evaluating when they ask about your architecture. The difference between maintaining a system and owning it. How to build influence when you have no formal authority. How to stay relevant without burning out or becoming obsolete. Not theory. Not generic advice. Production experience distilled into a map of the profession.
