Tyvm for the serious comment, i_am_proteus! :-) The algorithms book By Steve S. (The Algorithm Design Manual)?

I've read that one, not an expert by any means, and I've got a 'decent' handle on data structues, but what about the software engineering basics one needs like OOP vs. Functional, SOLID, interfaces, class invariants, class design, etc.? Should I just pick up any CS 101 textbook? Or any good MIT open courseware classes that cover this type of stuff (preferably with video lectures... intro to algorithms is _amazing_ they have Eric's classes uploaded to YouTube, but finding good resources to level-up as a SWE has proved somewhat challenging)

^ serious comment as well... I find myself "swimming" when I hear certain terms used in the field and I am trying to catch up a bit (esp. as an SRE with self-taught SRE skills that is supposed to know this stuff)

Ah! Nvm, I see you mean https://github.com/walkccc/CLRS (didn't catch the acronym was the authors names smushed together at first)
