AI doesn't replace algorithms and data structures. Understanding them is now even more valuable. Developers who truly thrive using AI won't just randomly order up generated code. They'll know what to ask for and why, and know how to assess what comes back. @jaywengrow pragprog.com/titles/jwpyt...

Concurrency has always been one of the places where understanding is rewarded over syntax. Sam Cooper's Kotlin Coroutine Confidence helps you build that intuition. Even when AI handles more of the typing, books like this become more valuable, not less. pragprog.com/titles/sckot...

In Berlin for the WeAreDevelopers World Congress Europe? Got your Duck Norris picture yet? Fun fact - where did you first hear the term "Rubber Ducking"? To celebrate, we're offering 35% off nearly everything at Pragprog.com - with discount code WWC26. #WeAreDevs #WWC26 #DuckNorris
Excerpt from the original The Pragmatic Programmer, superimposed over the cover of that book - discussing the origin of the term "Rubber Ducking" - the idea came from a research assistant author Dave Thomas knew at Imperial College - Greg Pugh. He carried around a rubber duck that accompanied him while he was coding.
