While AI can speed up output, it cannot replace engineering judgment. This book helps you build that judgment. From Code to Scale: Timeless Principles for Building and Scaling Great Software is built on a simple idea: great software works like good art and good science. When you build on timeless principles, you get better over time, no matter what the latest technology trends throw at you.
