Books
Books that have stayed with me and still feel worth recommending.
Clean Architecture
A strong guide to software structure, dependency control, and maintainable design. Still one of the clearest books on architectural discipline.
The AI-Native Software Development Lifecycle
A useful framework for rethinking software delivery once code generation stops being the main bottleneck. I especially value its emphasis on redesigning the lifecycle rather than bolting AI onto the old one.
Android Apps Security: Mitigate Hacking Attacks
A solid introduction to mobile security, especially for Android developers who want a practical view of common attack paths and tooling.
Beginning Frida
A useful next step for learning Frida, with practical examples for both Linux and Android.
Swamplands of the Soul
A heavy but worthwhile Jungian book on midlife, meaning, and inner conflict. It rewards slower reading.
A New Earth
A clear, forceful book on consciousness, identity, and suffering. It builds well on The Power of Now without feeling repetitive.
Mediations - Marcus Aurelius
A compact, durable stoic text. The short entries make it easy to revisit, and the notes repay slower rereads.
The Pragmatic Programmer
A practical reset on core software habits. Even when the lessons feel obvious, it is useful to revisit them.
Tao Te Ching
A foundational text on the Tao. The Stephen Mitchell translation is a good entry point if you are reading it in English.
The Cathedral & the Bazaar
A sharp reflection on software in the 1990s and on why open source became a genuine movement rather than a side project.
