Drawing inspiration from Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s timeless observations and placing them in a modern setting, this brief book explores what happens when identity becomes increasingly social, ...

You open Claude Code. It doesn't know your coding style. It doesn't remember your project rules. It doesn't follow your architecture. Again. Meanwhile, developers on r/ClaudeCode are posting about setups where Claude writes production-ready code on the first try, follows their exact conventions, and improves itself between sessions. The difference isn't talent. It's a folder of markdown files called Skills. This book gives you the complete SKILL.md system that Anthropic built but barely documented. You'll build your first working skill in 10 minutes, then stack 5 essential skills that ...

Twenty-seven minutes. That's how long it took Sarah Chen's team to deploy a critical production fix that would have taken three weeks just two years ago. No frantic debugging. No war rooms. Just a developer, an AI pair programmer, and a conversation that felt more like orchestration than coding. While you were perfecting your sprint planning, the gap between thinking "I need to build this" and seeing it running in production collapsed from months to minutes. Engineers at GitHub and Google are shipping features before lunch that would have been quarterly projects in 2020. Here's what ...

In Once Upon an Algorithm, Martin Erwig explains computation as something that takes place beyond electronic computers, and computer science as the study of systematic problem solving. Erwig points out that many daily activities involve problem solving. Getting up in the morning, for example: You get up, take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast. This simple daily routine solves a recurring problem through a series of well-defined steps. In computer science, such a routine is called an algorithm.
