It is your choice. I have read a good part of the book, also wrote a part of it and am in the process of finishing the review. The more reviews - the better. The book is officially in beta and this is fully transparent

what kind of author releases about a book they themselves have not read? Could you possibly care less about your readers and your own work?

  At least he's honest about it, the vast majority of AI people would just submit it as their own work having never read it at all.

    He's being dishonest. He's attempting to promote Zenflow (a tool created by his employer Zencoder). He's produced AI slop (that he has not even read!) as a vehicle to promote Zenflow and get it in front of eyeballs on HackerNews.

      I am just referencing the tools I used (also Claude Code, by the way) because the bulk of the work was done by them. This is what I was taught: work should be attributed correctly. If I would not mention the tools it would seem if the book was written entirely by me which is not the case. This is a book which was started by me, I did use the AI tools I normally use in my daily routine on my personal projects. They are secondary in this post though. I posted in my personal capacity and my employer is not aware or connected to this - the book is entirely mine. It is not AI slop. A large part of its content was written originally by me 10 years ago. But if it has offended anyone and I should not had posted the work which I have not fully yet reviewed myself, then sorry

        How would you know whether or not it is AI slop, you haven't reviewed it

        Sorry, definitely my mistake for sharing too early.

  The main goal of posting early was to gather feedback and peer review as soon as possible. I hope it can become a collaborative effort with external contributions. The book is still a work in progress, and I have tried to be transparent about that. If you have specific concerns about the quality or suggestions for improvement, I would genuinely appreciate hearing them.

    You shouldn't ask other people for feedback before you have done the bare minimum of reading your "own" book
    - jsontwikkeling 7mo ago
      Clear, sorry, my mistake. I just was excited to share and hoped it can be useful. Though I genuinely wrote a substantial part of the book myself. I will finish the review on Github in the coming days/weeks and will hopefully get some collaborators there
