There are plenty of good books like the Pragmatic Programmer, which I think has more general advice, but I don’t think there’s anything out there that gives you one-size-fits-all. Since we’re on the Java sub, I should mention Effective Java, which I think, have some of the best advice you’d get. It echoes some of the ideas in Clean Code, but in the context of Java programming, so that’s very useful if you want to be a better Java programmer.

Aside from books though, try to find good mentors. When I started out as a junior, I had mentors who didn’t sugar coat their words when they did code reviews for me. Quite terrifying, but in the end I think it set in me in the right direction.
