Includes ways to construct JavaScript using only +[]()! characters. Never heard of DOM Clobbering? This book has all the details.

AI is an amplifier. It magnifies whatever engineering discipline — or lack of it — already exists, which means the bottleneck was never AI's capability; it is the collaboration space you design around it. This book is a six-level progression from early AI panic to sovereign engineering: the discipline of designing the environment in which human and artificial intelligence produce work worth keeping. It moves past prompting into the practices that compound — verification, habitat engineering, specification-first development, and the platform discipline that scales the practice across teams. The habitat is yours to design. Let's build it well.

Linux is one of the best decisions you can make for your computer — but knowing where to start is the hard part.

No prior experience required.
