Ask HN: What books should I read to improve as a software engineer?

I'm a recent grad looking to keep improving. I've read Clean Code, Game Programming Patterns, and Architecture Patterns with Python, and I feel I learned / improved a lot from each of them. I was looking at Coding Horror's book recommendation list: https://blog.codinghorror.com/recommended-reading-for-developers/ but all those books seem very out of date. Any suggestions for best books for software engineers in 2024?
