What people on Hacker News said
I would expect to see on lists that „changed careers” books on programming languages, like Kernighan & Ritchie on C, or Stroustrup's or Alexandrescu's books on C++.
Alexandrescu's Modern C++ design taught me how to template properly.
Modern C++ Design - Alexandrescu (mind-blowing; he now works on the D language)
Alexandrescu's Modern C++ Design (2001) is a real eye-opener (though I wouldn't use most of the stuff from the latter half of book in real production).
