I Spend Hours Fighting Nonsense. Will You Keep Me Caffeinated?
"When Methods and Frameworks Fail"—four thrilling hours.
"LLMs Are Like Politicians"—five exasperating hours.
And "AI Code Tsunami"—seven soul-draining, coffee-fueled hours!
Look, I’ll be honest. I've been waging a war against bullshit since 2008, and I'll probably continue even if no one throws me a bone—or in this case, a cafe latte. But let’s be honest, feeling appreciated in liquid form is significantly more motivating than merely a like or a share. 😁☕
So, I've finally caved and turned on payments here on Substack. The monthly price is exactly the cost of my favorite cafe latte at Coffeecompany in Rotterdam (€5.50). If you keep me caffeinated, I promise to keep slicing through all the AI hype, Agile doom, and the towering piles of future-of-work manure that block our path.
Battling hypers and doomers, bulldozing through bullshit, and clearing a safe passage between utopia and dystopia isn't easy. Frankly, it can be exhausting. But guess what makes it all worthwhile? You—the kind souls already fueling my fight:

To sweeten your caffeinated generosity, I’ve prepared something special this month: a meticulously compiled, pain-in-the-neck-to-produce list of every AI-related book I could find, updated through May 2025. This bloody PDF cost me two entire days—about six cappuccinos, three black teas, and one chai latte worth of work. It's waiting for you just behind the paywall. 👇🏻
Not into AI book lists? I still need a few drinks to fuel more masterpieces like "The Red Queen Says No to AI Agents" and "Ten Times the Impact with One-Tenth the People." Trust me, what I have in store for you in the next few months is worth at least a macchiato.
Thanks for being part of this caffeinated crusade!
With every sip and keystroke, I think of you.
👇🏻 Buy me that latte and see the complete list. 👇🏻
