Very early preview of an experiment I'm trying; taking my tweets and making them available in a book.

Compilation of best practices for evaluating weak spots in your product and company and fostering a robust security culture within your organization.

To write better code and build better products, we must understand why engineering and design often fail. Why is it so difficult to write bug-free code? Why do people fail to use products? And why do engineering projects so often go sideways? The answer to these questions lies in the shortcomings of human cognition and the nature of complexity.

Data Mesh is a sociotechnical approach that enables development teams to autonomously carry out data analysis. In this primer, we explain Data Mesh from the engineering perspective.

Python is awesome, Kubernetes is awesome too. Use the combined power of both to create highly available Python application, declarative data processing task, and all sort of automation tasks.

Hello! I'm Tony Robinson, a senior security analyst and rule writer on the Proofpoint Emerging Threats team. I write rules for the ETOPEN and ETPRO rulesets. My book will teach you about the ins and outs of Suricata, rules and rule writing in general, why the IDS software behaves a certain way, and how to get the most out of your Suricata deployments.

Too many teams feel stuck in fake agility, with a years-long backlog, rampant multitasking, and little chance to do great work. That's waterfall masquerading as an agile approach. Instead, assess your risks and culture to design your lifecycle. Based on your risks, decide how and when to iterate over features and when to deliver value—real agility.

This is a convenient compilation of the Nostr protocol specification (https://github.com/nostr-protocol) as a single PDF that is easy to read and print. The protocol comprises a series of nips (Nostr Implementation Possibilities), where NIP-01 is the protocol's base. I set the minimum price for the packaging effort, but you can get it for free.

This book is an experiment about content generation with openAI. The book was completely generated by chatGPT in just a few hours. I want to raise the awareness of fast generated content. I created a YouTube video about my experiment.

With few exceptions, even software organizations that are reliably delivering software tend to struggle with delivering value. This book shows, at a high level, how to build a software-product-delivery engine that reliably, efficiently, and sustainably executes on executive intent and product strategy.

Crack the really hard topics in Python once for all. And, yes, this book starts each chapter from scratch.
