AI is an amplifier. It magnifies whatever engineering discipline — or lack of it — already exists, which means the bottleneck was never AI's capability; it is the collaboration space you design around it. This book is a six-level progression from early AI panic to sovereign engineering: the discipline of designing the environment in which human and artificial intelligence produce work worth keeping. It moves past prompting into the practices that compound — verification, habitat engineering, specification-first development, and the platform discipline that scales the practice across teams. The habitat is yours to design. Let's build it well.
- No DirectionMax Guernsey, III
It's 1021 and members of a supernatural cabal are threatened by a man searching for ancient technology from the world that came before. The man they are hunting is weaker, slower, and doesn't have the backing of their organization. Yet, somehow, this man who should have been in their hands on the first day keeps slipping through their fingers: he controls when and where they meet, and every outcome seems the result of some plan the team only recognizes after it has succeeded. As the hunt pulls the team out of Europe and away from the backing of Council power, they must devise a way to catch him before he finds whatever it is he seeks.

Data platform interviews test CDC, streaming, warehouse modeling, and trade-offs two levels deep — no generic system-design book covers it. This one does: 50 full mock interviews, 122 rapid-fire Q&A, and the framework that turns a vague prompt into a hire.
- Programming in System Fω using DhallSergei Winitzki
Why is Dhall is the most powerful and safe language for templated configuration files? Because Dhall implements System Fω, the type system at the core of Haskell - the most powerful type system short of adopting full dependent types. I found Dhall to be a delightfully lucid vehicle for learning the core patterns of functional programming. Non-Turing-completeness for the win!
Ecosocial Design is a digestible (if lengthy) call to upgrade our actions for people, planet and all life forms. It extends the substantial earth-care notions of permaculture into the cultural realm. The presentation also imagines you as a significant actor in this critical work and provides some means whereby you might access the support you need.
