I am a sucker for good books, and so especially O'Reilly books. Here's one that is WIP, but in return, it is free, thanks to @AntithesisHQ It's for CTOs / eng leaders who want to get AI to deliver *business value* which is... tricky. Get it here: pages.antithesis.com/oreilly…

It’s early access with 4 chapters. As more are added they will be sent to those getting it. Likely to be finished by ~Dec but it’s up to the author (details from Antithesis) This is the thing with very timely books: it’s fresh but not finished!

Is it only 30 pages or did I download only a part of the book?

Hey @GergelyOrosz and @i_m_Pania - author here. Before December. Have most of the content - just need to get it all written down - and despite a very rich custom agentic pipeline, it takes LONGER to write it AI assisted than manually. But it's worth it as the content is way better!

If it’s a book it’s probably already outdated. I wonder how the writer is going to keep up with the developments.

Dude it’s literally being written as we speak, how can it be outdated - the parts not written?

@GergelyOrosz thanks. What do you think about learning.oreilly.com/library… from @chadfowler? Also in draft only but I am reading it right now and it helps to organise what we should really focus on as engineers and leaders when code is cheap and can be regenerated at any time.

Regenerative Software

The assumptions underneath modern software development have quietly broken. Version control assumes humans make changes incrementally. Code review assumes a human authored the code.... - Selection...

I brought AI into my team early. The hours come back long before finance can name a dollar.

Since I see Peter in the replies 👀 Does it cover how to scale security management of AI usage and applications? The AI tools open up a world of cool initiatives to people, inside or outside eng, but dealing with the increased risks and attack surface feels hard/impossible

Why write this as a book? Doesn't that run a big risk of becoming outdated? Maybe what we need is a kind of living book that still lets the author earn royalties.

wow. considering I now run an ai strategy consulting practice @cipherprojects this sounds like the right book for me.

A book on scaling AI in early release is the only honest format for the topic, since by the final edition half the tools in chapter 3 will have been renamed twice.
