alt Hacker NewsThe top 3 programming books mentioned this year were
1. Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs 2. Clean Code 3. Crafting Interpreters
Also, it’s quite fascinating how often fiction books were recommended! I wouldn’t’ve expected that on HN.

I’d be curious about sentiment analysis applied to these. I expect two of the listed to have very positive sentiment, and one generally negative in 2025.

The world would be a better place if _Philosophy of Software Design_ would replace all mentions of the second book.
