  11. Evals
    Evals
    Quality Engineering for AI Systems
    PUDUR RAMASWAMY

    Every test you have ever written assumed the same input gives the same output. Large language models broke that assumption, and with it most of what our profession knows about verification. This is the discipline that replaces it — golden datasets, property assertions, LLM judges you can actually trust, retrieval evaluation, adversarial suites, and CI gates that let a pipeline say no to a model.

  12. Thinking with LLM, the right way
    Thinking with LLM, the right way
    Strengthening critical thinking with generative AI — without being used by it
    Francesco Fullone

    "The AI confirmed X for me" used as proof of X. Outputs that sound brilliant but don't hold up to a severe re-reading. A three-page "AI policy" that nobody reads. Sound familiar? Thinking with LLMs, the Right Way is the system of critical thinking applied to LLMs: the Thinking-With Triangle (Intent / Adversary / Editor), the four meta-decisions of governance, the Socratic and adversarial practices for investigating and verifying. Not prompt engineering: the method for not letting yourself be mirrored.

  14. Claude Code Safety: Stop Your AI Agent from Destroying Your Work
    Claude Code Safety: Stop Your AI Agent from Destroying Your Work
    The Claude Code hooks that stop a destructive rm, a force push, a dropped database and a discarded working tree — and the data loss runbook for when one gets through.
    yurukusa

    You leave Claude Code running and come back to something missing. This book is arranged by the accident, not the mechanism: databases dropped, files deleted, git history rewritten, the rewind command taking work with it. Three of the four get the exact hook that blocks the command before it runs, with the recovery if it already happened; no PreToolUse hook sees the rewind command, and the book gives the settings-level lever and names the one place a refusal could still live. Appendix B prints all 195 commands the guards were fired at, refusals and allowances both.
