AI Code Fails in Production: Trust But Verify
I trusted AI code too easily until production failures taught me otherwise. Here’s how to catch the confident mistakes before they bite you.
Your Success Story Might Be Someone Else’s Script
Successful businessman has everything, feels like total failure. Turns out legacy isn’t what happens after you die – it’s what you do today. That’ll mess with your head.
Your Tiny Choices Actually Change Everything
Small daily choices matter more than grand gestures. Thank you notes, reusable bottles, less meat – regular people making tiny shifts create lasting change.
Your Daily Choices Matter More Than Your Eulogy
Legacy isn’t what people say at your funeral – it’s what you’re building through daily choices right now. This book tears apart everything you think matters.
Small Gestures Beat Grand Plans Every Single Time
You don’t need a grand plan to make things better. Small actions – the thank you note, the conversation, the reusable bag – add up to actual change. Plus they make your life less hollow.
AI Agents Work Best When Treated Like Humans
AI agent teams work better when you treat them like emotionally intelligent humans – understanding each agent’s strengths, managing their cognitive load, and letting them collaborate naturally.
Managing AI Agents Is Just Managing People
Managing people and orchestrating AI agents use the same core skills – just applied to code instead of conversations. Recognition becomes observation, pattern analysis becomes prediction, and conflict resolution becomes debugging.
Why AI Coding Assistants Need More Constraints
You’re using AI coding assistants wrong – they don’t need more freedom, they need better rails. 30 years of coding plus 8 years of AI work taught me why constraints beat creativity.
AI Coding Needs Rails Not Autonomy
AI coding isn’t about autonomy – it’s about constraints. After 30+ years coding, I’ve learned the real breakthrough is “agents on rails” with precise specs.
Your AI Instructions Are Sabotaging Your Code
After 30+ years coding, I’ve watched teams waste hours on AI that generates creative but wrong solutions. The AI isn’t broken – your instructions are missing.
Why Time Speeds Up And How Empathy Slows It
Studying empathy for twenty years taught me why time speeds up as we age – and how paying attention to other people’s micro-expressions can literally slow it back down.
Your Weirdness Is Your Competitive Advantage Actually
A book that reframes failure as growth invitations you can’t decline and argues your weirdness is actually your biggest asset – not the fluffy self-help you’d expect.
