Software

A practical field guide for using AI assistants at work—and engineering them in production. Learn the standards that prevent “sounds right, wrong” outputs: specs, grounding, tools, evals, guardrails, and cost control.

You know how to code, but everyone else seems to "just get it" while you secretly Google and ChatGPT everything. The Software Realm DECODED is the patient mentor conversation you've been searching for, Peter asks the questions you're afraid to ask, and the Ultra Senior Developer explains what bootcamps skip and seniors assume you know. By the final chapter, the imposter syndrome disappears and systems finally make sense.

Stop debating code style. Start engineering code. Every developer brings personal preferences. Every AI tool channels different training examples. The result? Inconsistent codebases, endless code reviews, and technical debt that compounds silently. Java Backend Coding Technology introduces a radical idea: reduce the space of valid choices until there's essentially one good way to do most things. Not through rigid frameworks, but through a small set of patterns that make structure predictable, refactoring mechanical, and business logic visible. The code you write, your teammate writes, and your AI assistant generates will look the same -- because the patterns leave no room for subjective variation.

JSON succeeded not because it was better--XML had schemas, namespaces, and 10 years of tooling, but because it understood modularity in ways XML never could. This book deconstructs how a deliberately incomplete format defeated a comprehensive standard, then shows you the production patterns (JSON Schema, JSONB, MessagePack, versioning strategies) that make JSON systems scale from prototype to billions of requests.

Stop building products nobody wants. Learn the exact framework indie hackers use to validate ideas in 7 days, ship MVPs that sell, and scale from $0 to $10K+ MRR. The Indie Hacker Playbook distills 10+ years of startup experience into 12 actionable chapters with real templates, frameworks, and case studies.

Receive/Declutter è un metodo pratico per aiutare i team di sviluppo a ridurre il caos, migliorare la collaborazione e concentrarsi su ciò che genera davvero valore. Un approccio nato dall'esperienza sul campo, pensato per essere adottato senza stravolgere il modo di lavorare. Questa prima edizione viene pubblicata con l’obiettivo di condividere la metodologia, renderla accessibile alla comunità tecnica e raccogliere osservazioni da professionisti del settore. È opportuno segnalare alcuni aspetti relativi allo stato attuale dell’opera: • Impaginazione: alcuni elementi grafici, diagrammi e dettagli di formattazione sono ancora soggetti a revisione e potranno essere migliorati nelle prossime edizioni. • Contenuti: alcune sezioni sono attualmente in revisione e potrebbero essere approfondite, integrate o precisate. • Core della metodologia: l’impianto concettuale e i principi fondamentali della Receive/Declutter Methodology sono considerati stabili dall’autore e costituiscono il riferimento di questa edizione. Cosa non troverai in questo testo Questo libro non è un manuale di istruzioni. Non troverai indicazioni uniche e precise su come svolgere una singola attività, né ricette da applicare alla lettera: troverai invece suggerimenti e spunti di riflessione per rendere la vita da sviluppatore più leggera e più divertente. Non troverai nemmeno come usare l’ultimo framework o l’ultima skill insieme ai modelli AI più potenti. Troverai come usare i modelli AI per scrivere codice robusto ed efficiente, e qualche suggerimento su come introdurli nel lavoro di squadra. Quello che troverai è un percorso aperto, fatto di principi e pratiche da adattare al tuo contesto. Se qualcosa non ti convince, è parte del gioco: questo libro è un punto di partenza, non un insieme di regole da seguire alla lettera.

Orbit is a lighweight agile software development methodology for building products with clarity, purpose, and flow. Agile promised adaptability, but many teams still feel stuck in process over purpose, running fast without knowing if they’re moving in the right direction. Orbit brings teams back to the heart of product development: shared understanding, clear decision flow, and meaningful collaboration. This book introduces the philosophy and structure behind Orbit, showing how to move from ambiguity to alignment, from chaos to clarity, and from “just building” to building what truly matters. If you’ve ever felt your team was busy but not effective, fast but not focused, this book will help you rediscover momentum with intention.

Low level is a term that confuses people. People think something high level is better than low level. In simple terms, humans consider themselves superior to machines and therefore think themselves higher or more important because of their abstract though. A computer thinks only in terms of numbers. A computer may not understand "high level" abstractions such as love, religion, philosophy, etc, but that is not its job. A computer must add, subtract, multiply, and divide. These are the four arithmetic functions which many human struggle to do. I wrote this book because I think like a machine and I hope to help others think this way because it is the best way to learn programming and control your computer by writing Assembly Language programs or to go back to your favorite programming language with a greater understanding of why things work as they do.
