Engineering Foundations: The Pillars of Modern Software CraftsmanshipTimeless Principles and Modern Practices for Building Systems That Last In an age where AI can write code in seconds, the true craft of software engineering is more critical than ever. This book is a mentor-in-a-book for a new generation of developers – those who want to go beyond automation and master the art of engineering. Starting with the foundational mindset of a system thinker and the core craft of writing clean, testable code, this book walks through the core and advanced pillars of modern software systems – from Lifecycle Management, Security, and Observability to Architecture and Design, Reliability and Resilience, Data and Knowledge Management, and Collaboration and Culture. It then explores how AI-augmented workflows, tools, and mentorship shape the future of engineering. You will learn to use intelligent tools responsibly, not as a crutch but as an amplifier for your own reasoning. Through practical frameworks and real-world patterns, you will discover how to build systems that are not just functional, but also scalable, secure, and deeply understandable. Tools will change, but the principles of thoughtful engineering endure. This is not a coding manual. It's a manifesto for thoughtful engineers who want to build things that endure.

When the author returned to engineering after management in 2009, he wanted to publish a book with the original title, Management Bits: An Anthology from Reductionist Manager. Around 2015, he changed its title to Critique of Management Reason: Management Bits and Tips from Can't and added a few more bits as late as 2017.
