Good to Great
summary
Advice centers on concrete practices: make tiny, testable changes with tests run on save so failures are easy to locate; pair program in person to expose thought process; treat automated testing as core and invest in a project-specific test framework that shrinks new-feature checks to two–three lines; prefer HackerRank style coding contests to train speed, corner cases and hiring chances (author credits those contests for getting into Facebook); balance perfectionism with deadlines and introspection to finish and ship.
