I will admit I don’t necessarily enjoy reading software development books in my spare time

Oh indeed! Why do software books have to be so dry?!

The Pragmatic Programmer was the first -- and still best -- software development book I read. My main takeaway (possibly from the introduction) was: always ask "Why are we doing this?" I feel this book is filled with answers to that question.

Great write-up Emma!
