I prompted Claude Code to write a book. This is what it wrote.
The premise: developers over-identify with their tools, frameworks, and languages — and it costs them professionally, creatively, and personally. So I asked Claude Code to explore that idea as a full book, published free and open source under CC0.
The result is 20+ chapters covering things like:
Why "I'm a React developer" is a career liability disguised as an identity
The polyglot mindset and how senior engineers actually think about tools
Imposter syndrome when switching languages (and why it's lying to you)
The tools that outlast the trends — Unix, SQL, git, HTTP — and why learning them pays forever
What software development actually is underneath all the tooling
Claude Code wrote every chapter, committed each one individually to git, set up GitHub Actions, and published it to GitHub Pages — all from a single prompt.
It's CC0 — public domain. Read it, share it, remix it, translate it.
If you find something wrong or have a better take, open a PR. The author won't mind. It's an AI.
Your language will be deprecated. Your framework will be replaced. The model that wrote this book already has been.
