Robert C. Martin, author of Clean Code and Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices, which were both compendiums of work from other software engineering authors that were otherwise either paywalled academic research papers or other "deep dive"-type books that you could really just summarize in a page or three to get the gist across, which is what he generally did. Clean Code was basically THE book on how to transform 1990s enterprise Java code into something semi-manageable, although it's basically the tech nerd version of :jordan-eboy-peterson: -- which, quite frankly, a lot of software devs need, since you don't get it in academia.
Unfortunately, "Uncle Bob" Martin is an outspoken boomer CHUD who is incapable of even the slightest self-crit, and has really just been coasting on the coattails of two books that he wrote 12 and 18 years ago. If you're ever trapped in the Java ecosystem, I highly recommend pirating those two books. A lot of the shit he wrote in '09 is still pretty relevant today, and if nothing else, the bibliographies are a great jumping-off point to the aforementioned "deep dive" works.
