Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this book for?
Any developer using AI coding tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT) who wants to ship reliable software. Whether you're junior or senior, the methodology adapts to your level.
Is this just another AI hype book?
The opposite. Every claim is backed by peer-reviewed research. Every technique is field-tested. This book teaches you to be skeptical of AI output, not excited about it.
What format is the ebook?
PDF, optimized for both screen reading and printing. 80+ pages with 13 original illustrations, decision trees, and a quick-reference card.
Do I need to be an expert developer?
No. The methodology starts with fundamentals (White Belt) and progresses through five levels. Senior developers report the biggest impact, but juniors gain the most foundational habits.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. If the methodology doesn't improve your AI-assisted coding workflow within 30 days, email us for a full refund. No questions asked.
