Bold claim sir. I'll take a gander.
Are you looking for books about a programming language? or about methodologies, patters, best practices, etc.
As far as about specific programming languages, personally I think the internet is a far better resource. Books are better for the "Soft"er skills (communication, design, etc)
Here are a few I've enjoyed:
* The Phoenix Project
* Accelerate
* Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World
* Rework
Finally, if you've never read "How to win Friends & Influence people", do it now! I'm 34 and for whatever reason put off reading this until last month. I wish I had read that book 10 years ago. I'll definitely be adding it to my re-read list as there is a TON of good advice for building relationships, which is arguably more important than many technical things.
Also, random side note, here's an interesting talk given by Ashley Williams on Rust that refers to the book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn-1so-Ibsg (Zen and the Art of Convincing Your Company to Use Rust)
