The AI pair-programming book series
Two hands-on books on shipping production code with an AI partner in the loop - not toy demos, real projects, real debugging, real shipping.
Agentic development with Anthropic's Claude.
Drive an autonomous coding agent end to end: planning, multi-file edits, running and reading tests, deploying, and keeping a long project on the rails. Learn the workflow that turns Claude into a teammate, not a fancy autocomplete.
Building software with OpenAI's GPT models.
The same ship-it philosophy with the GPT family: prompting that holds up under real complexity, function calling, structured output, and wiring models into apps you actually deploy. Practical patterns over hype.
Coding With is one corner of a wider shelf. If you like a builder who actually ships, here is what else Trenton has written.
A clear-eyed, hands-on guide to cryonics: what it is, how it actually works, and how to make real arrangements without the hype. The same ship-it, no-nonsense voice, pointed at the longest game there is.
