The books on my desk are a combination of reference books and books that are good conversation-starters (I've read them already and don't need them as reference, but they're good for lending out to people, especially junior devs).

Reference:

  - Effective Java (good for learning the mindset of developing backward-compatible APIs in any language)
  - Enterprise Integration Patterns (I work on an enterprise APIs team)
  - Designing Data-Intensive Applications
  - Camel in Action

Good for lending out:

  - The Phoenix Project
  - Making Work Visible
  - Effective DevOps
  - The Pragmatic Programmer
  - REST in Practice

(also if you want a longer overview a bunch of related concepts are talked about in Dominica DeGrandis’s book Making Work Visible, and the advice on managing by the critical path method comes from a makes-my-eyes-roll-a-little-but-still-pretty-solid business novel by Eli Goldratt called Critical Chain, which applies the reasoning from another less-eye-rolls business novel by the same author to the “project context” that we find ourselves in when writing software.)
