As an engineer you are valued most of the time by your technical skills. The time you have to use those technical skills is limited. You can find many books about increasing productivity, this is not one of them. Booster skills is about doing what you do more efficiently and getting the best output of what you already know how to do.

Your software is only as secure as the path it takes to production. This book walks you through protecting every stage of the software supply chain, from dependencies and builds to deployment and runtime. Learn practical techniques, proven tools and the mindset needed to stop modern supply chain attacks before they spread.

If a humanoid robot carries about $28,000 a year in fixed cost, then at $60 contribution per billable hour it breaks even at roughly 467 billable hours per year, or just under 9 hours per week. But if supervision is heavier and contribution drops to $28 per hour, break-even jumps to 1,000 hours per year, or about 19.2 hours per week.

This book explains how Toyota uses DRBFM as a practical extension of FMEA during the design phase, where up to 80% of product quality is determined. Instead of repeating a generic FMEA, DRBFM zeroes in on design changes, asking: What could go wrong because of this change?

Frameworks make it easy to get started, but they often hide the fundamentals. This book takes you back to the core ideas behind reliable software, showing how to build fast, maintainable systems with fewer dependencies and better engineering decisions. Write software you truly understand and control.

Rooted in just-in-time (JIT) and jidoka (built-in quality), TPS is much more than a manufacturing tool—it’s a philosophy of continuous improvement, flow, and respect for people.
