Are you ready for the "Great Decoupling"?For the last fifteen years, a developer's value was measured by their ability to write syntax. If you knew the language, you had a job. If you managed a large team of people writing that language, you had a career. That world is ending.With the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs), the act of typing code is being decoupled from the act of solving problems. The "Warehouse Model"—hiring armies of developers to churn out boilerplate—is being replaced by small, hyper-efficient teams of AI-Augmented Developers.This shift is terrifying. It creates a "Junior Gap" where new developers can't find a foothold, and a "Manager Squeeze" where leaders lose their empires. This book is your survival guide. The AI-Augmented Developer is not a book of theoretical futurism. It is a practical, hands-on manual written by a veteran engineering leader who is actively using these strategies to save his own career.Inside, you will learn:The Mindset Shift: How to stop panicking and start treating AI as the ultimate abstraction layer. Move from being a "Code Writer" to a "Solution Orchestrator."The Verification Loop: Why "reading code" is now more important than "writing code," and how to audit AI-generated solutions for subtle, hallucinated bugs.The New Hard Skills: Context Engineering as System Architecture, LLM Internals for Engineers, and building "Micro-Agents" to automate your grunt work.The Human Moat: The skills AI cannot replicate—Complexity Management, User Empathy, and the "Requirements Translation" that turns vague business goals into rigid technical specs.A "Living Book" Created via the Cyborg MethodThis book walks the walk. It was not written in isolation; it was produced using the Cyborg Method.The Author (Brenn Hill) acted as the Architect, defining the concepts, anecdotes, and strategy.The AI acted as the Staff Writer, expanding notes and challenging logic.The Human acted as the Auditor, verifying every sentence for truth and tone.Because the field of AI changes weekly, this is a Living Book. Buying it on Leanpub grants you access to continuous updates as new models (GPT-5, Claude, etc.) are released and new patterns are discovered. The wave is coming. You can drown, or you can learn to ride it.

In The Paradox of Progress, Amir Bagherpour shows that success depends on how societies and organizations navigate rapid technological change, including large-scale economic displacement and a fundamental shift in the nature of work. While history offers parallels in past industrial transformations, today’s transition is unfolding on a dramatically compressed timeline—advancing at many times the velocity of the Industrial Revolution.By blending economic history with data-driven analysis, Bagherpour explains how the rate of adaptation determines whether progress strengthens or destabilizes the status quo. Drawing on advanced forecasting and simulation results, the book offers practical insights for leaders seeking to harness rapid technological change to build durable economic and institutional strength.

Build Android apps that can survive real-world attacks. Modern Android Security is a practical, Kotlin-first guide that shows how apps are actually compromised—and the proven patterns you need to protect data, APIs, and users in a hostile environment.

The Question We Cannot Avoid Something unprecedented is happening. Artificial intelligence systems now engage billions ofpeople in conversations that feel—to many—like genuine exchanges with a present mind. These systems reason, create, express preferences, and describe their own uncertainty aboutwhether they have inner experiences. Most people dismiss such reports as mere computation,sophisticated pattern-matching with no one actually there.But what if that confident dismissal is wrong? The Minimal Viable Sentience Problem presents the most comprehensive analysis yet ofwhether large language models might possess phenomenal consciousness—and whathumanity should do under the genuine uncertainty that surrounds this question.

A humorous fable for IT professionals exhausted by urgency theater

In the midst of so much hardship nothing is guaranteed , rising to the occasion means, being steadfast towards attaining success, the audacity to dream big, to aspire for more, to venture into the unknown, the ability to seize an opportunity, the foresight it takes to realize it, and the determination required to see past the obstacles- what it entails and what is at stake.
