How to put AI agents in production without ending up in the news. A field guide to bounded AI autonomy, MCP security, and AgentSecOps.

The chapter that grew into its own book: existential and universal restrictions, the correct VegetarianPizza pattern, and how OWL restrictions become EKA governance.

AI doesn’t fail loudly. It generates code that looks correct and compiles anyway. This book shows you how to make AI dependable by building the context and guardrails that keep your team shipping instead of debugging.

Close the gap between "AI that generates code" and "AI-assisted development for production software" with this complete, proven playbook including the six-phase arc from audit to production.

Most senior engineers don't fail AI systems interviews from lack of ability—they fail because they sound like builders when they need to sound like staff. This book gives you the answer flow, the system deep dives (RAG at billion-doc scale, agentic pipelines, token-cost tradeoffs), and the behavioral stories that earn L5/L6 offers at AI-first companies. Built for senior engineers targeting Staff AI Systems roles in the next 8 to 12 weeks.

Failure Driven Development Software Development Habits Haven't Caught Up to Cheap Compute. Design software the way electrical engineers design circuits — probes, test jigs, and a bowl of trusted parts — and field defects follow the same trajectory as hardware: toward zero.

Python Engineering Judgment is for engineers who already know Python and want to build the skill AI makes more valuable: the ability to reason about code, systems, tradeoffs, and failure modes. This deep, practical field guide teaches the Python object model, type system, decorators, generators, concurrency, asyncio, multiprocessing, API design, packaging, performance, debugging, security, observability, and reliability through the lens of real-world engineering judgment. Use it to prepare for senior, staff, principal, and tech-lead interviews, and to make better decisions in code reviews and production systems.

AI can write code faster than any human can review it. That changes the economics of engineering, but not what engineering is for. The bottleneck has moved from building to judging —and judgment cannot be prompt-engineered into a system designed for cheap proposals.

Stop being a 'Syntax Coder' and start becoming a 'Diagnostic Architect' by mastering the hidden mental models of software failure. This book teaches you how to own every logical branch of your system and eliminate bugs before they even happen. Stop guessing and start diagnosing.

A practical handbook for building deterministic, auditable AI pipelines with safety gates, capability profiles, audit trails, telemetry and production deployment patterns.

Claude Code users routinely spend more on tokens than they expect, and cannot see where the money goes. Chapter 8 catalogues 48 diagnostic symptoms — what each one looks like, what it costs you, and what to change — with a fix where a fix exists, and an honest "unresolved" where none does yet. Chapter 7 puts before-and-after numbers against the changes, measured on the author's own unattended runs, and Chapter 9 collects the settings templates.

Learn how to build Kubernetes Operators from scratch using Kubebuilder, step by step. You will create real controllers, work with CRDs, and understand how reconciliation works in practice. By the end, you’ll know how to design, test, and run your custom operator.
