Books

I love books, and read them all the time. I had about 5,000 books in our family home in Moscow, and I have about 5,000 now in the US. I learn from books, and I read many books in parallel.

With AI, I can write books on the topics I want to learn or read about, tailored to my interests. I've pioneered learning and coding with domain-specific books, starting with Rust and graph databases.

The post introducing AI-first learning from bespoke books contains two books for learning Rust with graph databases, made by Codex and Claude.

Following my interest in Italy and history, I've located and translated, with Codex, a history of the Rio Grande Republic, where Garibaldi started his military and naval career (after being in merchant marine in the Mediterranean):
