How File Systems Really Work Beneath Your Devices

FAT12 by Björn Götz

Stop guessing what the bytes on disk mean and build the filesystem yourself. Over twelve chapters you implement FAT12 from scratch in C, from the first sector read to formatting a fresh volume, and check every step against a hexdump. Then you boot the exact same code inside your own kernel and watch it write and read files on bare metal.

When AI Software Goes Offline_ The Risk of No Updates

Dear Software & AI Architect by Shweta Vohra

AI is changing not only what architects build, but what it means to be an architect.Dear Software and AI Architect is a practical guide for software architects and emerging AI architects who want to navigate ambiguity, make better trade offs, design intelligent systems people can trust, and connect architecture decisions to real business impact.Inside, you’ll find 50+ practical caselets, expert perspectives, field tested lessons, and the Architect’s V Impact Canvas to help you build with context and lead with clarity as software and AI engineering converge.The book draws on my more than two decades of experience working with complex software, cloud, platform, and AI systems, translating lessons from the field into ideas you can apply in your own architecture journey.And decorating this journey is a foreword by my mentor, Grady Booch, UML co creator and one of the most influential voices in software architecture.This is not a book about chasing AI hype. It is about becoming the architect this new era demands.
