Thinking machines are making it easier to make software, but it's the builder behind the keyboard who makes the difference. Good designers, engineers, and founders do things others don't. They are thinking builders who see the craft from a different angle. This book holds 60 letters for the builders who do not want to be average. Not a tutorial. Just the common sense every creator needs. A light philosophy book about software.
I'm Alex Kondov, and I've been building software for more than a decade - some of it for startups, some of it for companies like The Financial Times and News Corp.
I wanted to write The Creative Act, but for programming.
The Pragmatic Programmer, but with a more philosophical tone.
A Ryan Holiday-esque technical book you can turn a few pages from every morning.
An equivalent to Seneca's letters to Lucilius, but from me to an imaginary friend in tech.
This is The Thinking Builder.

The Seneca framing got me. Common sense dressed as philosophy is exactly what most builders need more of. Good luck with the launch π
