Hello,

I have just finished reading the book (version 2.0.1) and I thank you very much for this thought-provoking read. I have three points I noticed throughout the book that I'd like to inform you about:

  1. In section 3.3 you write "I suggest spending about 10-20% of your total development time on investments." and later on "Your initial projects thus will take 10-20% longer than they would in a purely tactical approach." This, however, isn't true. To exemplify this, if you were programming purely tactically but then you started spending now 50% of your total development time on investments, then your projects will now take 100% longer, not 50% longer, because you doubled your time.
  2. In section 10.9 you write "This was true for the examples in this chapter, such the Tcl unset (...)". There's an "as" missing before "the".
  3. In section 20.4 you write "(...) the allocation code above (...)" but due to the formatting of the book the code was actually placed after this paragraph.

Additionally, I'd like to say this book made me reflect a lot on how the process of writing code has changed with AI. I wonder if you have thoughts on this topic, I have joined the google group and hope to take part in future discussions.

Best regards,
Daniel Atkinson Oliveira
