Programming audiobook recommendations?

3 years ago by afc to c/programming

Hi everyone,

I've got quite a long drive coming up and was interested in finding some audiobooks, which got me thinking, has anyone listened to (also, do they exist) any programming-centric audiobooks recently?

I figure podcasts might be the more popular format for technical content, but I'd be more interested in an audiobook if people know of any good ones.

I'm primarily a python developer if that helps narrow it down. Interested in LLMs, python core stuff, message brokers, databases, whatever!

Let me know if you have any leads!

If you work in a team environment, I recommend these two books: The Phoenix Project and The Unicorn Project.

Not strictly about programming, but focuses on software projects and devops. The fast-paced novels will make your drive go much faster.

I read The Phoenix Project recently, and had a PTSD episode from all of the hallmarks of dysfunction that I’ve experienced in my career. Good book, but probably needs a trigger warning.

I recently re-read the book and had a similarly traumatic episode from all the managers over my career that read the book and somehow took the wrong lessons from the dysfunction portrayed.
