Title: I taught myself how to code and ended up doing a PhD in a computational discipline.  Programming has been a big part of my life for at least the last decade, during which I&#x27;ve written code almost every day, but always by myself.  After graduating I joined a medium-sized company (~10^2 developers) as a machine learning engineer and realized how much I don&#x27;t know about software engineering.  I feel very comfortable with programming in the small, but programming in the large still feels mostly opaque to me.  Issues like testing &#x2F; mocking, code review, management of dev &#x2F; stage &#x2F; prod workflows and, most importantly, the judgment &#x2F; taste required to make maintainable changes to a million LOC repository, are areas where I can tell I need to improve.<p>Former academics who moved into software engineering, which resources did you find most useful as you made the transition?  Python-specific or language-agnostic books would be most helpful, but all advice would be welcome.
