Ask HN: Which software engineering books will not be irrelevant in 5-10 years?

In a previous post [1], some people suggest that they only buy physical books "where the information will be relevant for a long time."[2]

In your opinion, which software engineering books fit the description?

I'll start: Fundamentals of Software Architecture by Richards and Ford.[3]

"Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" (1994) is still going strong, in my opinion, and I don't think that will change in the coming 5-10 years.
