"Principles for Programmers" by Andrei is a gem that transcends the boundaries of programming and offers a wealth of wisdom applicable to diverse fields. This book is a concise yet powerful compilation of timeless principles that lay the foundation for success not only in coding but in various aspects of life.
In an industry flooded with technical jargon and ever-evolving languages, it's refreshing to come across a book that focuses on the fundamental principles and paradigms that form the core of excellence. Andrei's approach is pragmatic and spot-on, making this book a standout in the realm of programming literature.
What sets this book apart is its brevity and clarity. You can breeze through it in about an hour, and the beauty is that you'll want to revisit it time and time again. It serves as a constant reminder of the core principles that underlie good coding practices, making it an invaluable resource for both beginners and seasoned veterans.
But here's the secret sauce: "Principles for Programmers" isn't just for programmers. It's a treasure trove of universal wisdom that can be embraced by non-programmers, students, and professionals from various fields. The principles in this book are not confined to code; they are a guide to excellence, creativity, and effective problem-solving in any discipline.
Andrei has carefully curated 40 principles that are not only actionable but also practical, drawing from the collective wisdom of some of the finest programmers, thought leaders, and business experts. It's evident that this book is a labor of love, a result of years of research, and a genuine desire to help individuals excel.
Whether you're just embarking on your coding journey, pursuing a different career, or simply seeking inspiration and motivation, "Principles for Programmers" is your companion. It's a timeless masterpiece that deserves a spot on every bookshelf, not just for programmers but for anyone looking to enhance their mindset and achieve greatness. I wholeheartedly recommend it as a source of wisdom and guidance for life's journey.

Really good insights.

I got this book from 2020 Ultimate Career Toolbox (Get it here https://kul.to/toolbox2020 if you haven't).
I think this good is a great reminder for us to go back to first principle thinking when we solve problem whether it is in programming or in life in general.
Pro tip: I transfered this book to my Kindle Oasis so I can open it regularly. It fit my Kindle really well even though I have the PDF version.

Pragmatic, timeless and concise.
The principles laid down and explained by Andrei is what I was searching for.
Too many programming books talk about the technical aspects of programming rather than the actual principles / paradigms that is the central core.
A brief read that you can finish in about 2 hours and fall back to anytime, I'd highly recommended it to any programmers, beginners and veterans alike.
Thank you, Andrei!
