I much prefered The Pragmatic Programmer because it was:

• Shorter – It didn’t take as much time to read.
• Funnier – No seriously Andy and Dave have a good sense of humor.
• Denser – Packed full of good advice.

I still think that Code Complete is a good book, but read The Pragmatic Programmer and save time for reading other technical books like Agile Web Development with Rails. :)
