The Era of the "Code Monkey" is Over.
Stop Competing with Machines. Start Commanding Them.
Is your career "AI-Proof"?

In 2018, the bottleneck in software was typing. If you knew the syntax, you were the asset. Today, code is abundant. It is instant. The marginal cost of writing a line of code has dropped to zero.

If your identity is wrapped up in "I write code," you are competing with a machine that can write more code in a second than you can in a year. And it will do it for pennies.

You cannot win that race. But you can win a different one.

Code Like a Pro is the survival manual for the modern software professional.

It is not a book about syntax or frameworks.

It is a strategic manifesto that teaches you how to pivot from being a Typist (who will be replaced) to a Pro Growth Architect (who is indispensable).

Master the 30 Rules of Engineering Leadership in the AI Era:
This book dismantles the old habits that are holding you back and replaces them with a new operating system for your career:

• Rule 3: Code is a Liability, Not an Asset. Stop celebrating lines of code. Every line you write is technical debt. Learn the "Subtraction Bias" and how to use AI to delete code.

• Rule 8: The 80/20 Rule of AI Coding. Stop wasting time on boilerplate. Let AI handle the 80% of "Commodity Code" while you focus exclusively on the 20% of "Value Code" that drives revenue.

• Rule 10: Reviewing the Robot. Avoid the "Lullaby Effect." Learn the 4 specific types of bugs AI introduces (like the "Happy Path Bias") and how to catch them before they crash production.

• Rule 13: The Security Mindset. AI loves to import abandoned or malicious libraries. Learn to be the "Gatekeeper" who stops supply chain attacks and "Package Hallucinations."

• Rule 17: Managing Up vs. The "Vibe Manager." How to handle managers who think an app can be built in a day. Learn to speak the language of Risk, P&L, and ROI to protect your team.

• Rule 26: The Product Engineer. Transition from measuring Output (PRs merged) to measuring Outcome (Profit). This is the mindset that gets you promoted to CTO.

The "Great Inversion" is Here.
We are witnessing a shift where implementation is free, but judgment is expensive. The world doesn't need more people who can type syntax. It needs people who can command these new tools to build massive value.

The machine has no taste. It has no judgment. It has no history. That is your job now.

You are not here to type. You are here to lead.
