Tough (and great) question. Recently it's Show Your Work by Austin Kleon. It gave me confidence to stop hiding -- it's the reason I joined Dev.to. Even the title is inspiring.
And I second/third/fourth The Pragmatic Programmer. The first programming book I properly read, and still the best.
Max is a life enhancer for tech & entrepreneurship. Which seeks to blend both to build innovative products or services for the world that solves hard problems.
Nice i read a older copy 6 or 8 years ago and i always wanted to buy one after i had loan it from the library.
So now it was a good chance to get it.
When i heard it in "Test & Code" episode that they had released a new edition and this lead me to crowd source the book with 3 others to have it delivered to Singapore to reduce on the delivery cost of the book.

Who read it first?
I credit Pragmatic Programmer for making me question the purpose of everything. Which is a weird thing to say about a software development book ...
