Learning Domain-Driven Design by Vlad Khononov. An excellent, practical book on applying domain-driven design to real-world problems.
Building Maintainable Software - this is such a great book - small, simple, measurable ways to help ensure your code is maintainable
Why pull requests are a bad idea - Dave Farley
You must be crazy to do pair programming - Dave Farley
How to write meaningful log messages
A scarily accurate list of falsehoods coders believe
(such as "people have names" and "a single postcode will be larger than a single building.")

This will likely be out of date before you read it, but anyway, here you go...

The Principles of Product Development Flow. Dr. Reinertsen's seminal work on the math, science and reality of how queuing theory impacts software delivery
Sooner Safer Happier (and their book) - an insightful, rich exploration of how to transform companies towards flow-based delivery, one small step at a time

A long read but worth it, sharing all sorts of ideas, including enabling constraints and how to bring about change with effective experiments
A great guide for running an effective post-incident review
