Pensare con gli LLM, The Right Way

Potenziamo il pensiero critico usando l'AI generativa senza farci usare

Francesco Fullone

«L'AI mi ha confermato X» usato come prova di X. Output che suonano brillanti ma non reggono a una rilettura severa. Una "AI policy" di tre pagine che nessuno legge. Suona familiare? "Pensare con gli LLM the Right Way" è il sistema di pensiero critico applicato agli LLM: il Triangolo del Pensare-Con (Intento / Avversario / Editore), le quattro decisioni meta di governance, le pratiche socratica e avversariale per indagare e verificare. Non prompt engineering: il metodo per non farsi rispecchiare.

  • Spring Boot 4 In Practice

    Jitin Kayyala

    Spring Boot 4 changes everything you thought you knew about building Java applications. Virtual threads make blocking code fast again. Native images deliver instant startup. First-class API versioning finally solves the "how do we evolve our APIs?" problem. But here's the catch: upgrading isn't just a dependency bump.

This book is your production-ready guide to Spring Boot 4 and Spring Framework 7. Written for intermediate developers who need more than "hello world" tutorials. Learn how to: • Build cloud-native microservices that scale • Migrate from Boot 3 safely and incrementally • Design APIs with built-in versioning and resilience • Choose between reactive, virtual threads, and native images • Secure distributed systems with JWT and OAuth2 • Implement observability that actually helps you debug production issues 300+ pages. 27 chapters.

  1. First Principles in Scrum: OpenClaw Scrum and Scrum@Scale
    Create Trust at Machine Speed
    Jeff Sutherland

    Fifty RF‑101 Voodoos arrived in Vietnam. Forty‑seven were shot down in a year. The pilots who survived didn't fly faster aircraft — they cycled through the OODA loop faster than the missiles chasing them. Jeff Sutherland was one of them. He went on to co‑create Scrum. Now, six decades later, he is running AI agents through daily sprints at machine speed — and this book is the playbook for how to do it without getting shot down.
