I work as a software engineer. For the most part it is a challenging, fun, and rewarding job. One aspect of the job that I didn't appreciate at first is the great need for continual self education and improvement. The industry changes so fast that it is easy to be out dated and old school in just five years. For the last ten years I've worked to spend time each month improving my skills. For example I've read Code Complete twice.
A good friend recently sent me a link to 10 Papers Every Programmer Should Read (At Least Twice). I've read the article. It looks like a good list. I plan to try to read each of these papers in the next couple months.
