How to break codes

Most programming books teach you how to write code. This one teaches you how to think before you write anything at all.

In an age where AI can generate entire programs in seconds, the real advantage isn’t knowing syntax — it’s knowing what to build, why it matters, and what hidden assumptions it carries.

How to Break Code is not a technical manual. It’s a philosophy of problem-solving disguised as a programming book.

Drawing from years of experience in real-world systems, the author challenges the myth that more code equals more skill. Instead, he reveals a powerful truth: the best solutions come not from typing faster, but from thinking deeper.

This book will teach you how to:

Break problems before you build solutions — by questioning assumptions, specs, and defaults.

See the human values hidden in algorithms — because code is never neutral.

Interpret problems, not just solve them — with a practice he calls algorithmic empathy.

Use the Notebook Method — a simple, human-first approach to design that prevents wasted effort.

Turn bugs into insights — treating errors not as failures, but as conversations with the system.

Apply this mindset beyond programming — to business, science, art, and life.

Whether you're a beginner overwhelmed by complexity, an experienced developer stuck in patterns, or a non-technical thinker drawn to systems and logic, this book will change how you see problems — and your role in solving them.

You’ll learn that the most dangerous code isn’t broken — it’s unquestioned.
And that the real code to break isn’t in your editor… it’s in your mind.

“I do not consider myself an expert. I consider myself someone who has played with algorithms until they revealed their secrets. This is my invitation to you: stop executing. Start thinking. Break the code — then rebuild it better.”

Prepare to see programming not as a job, but as a way of thinking.
And prepare to see yourself not as a coder — but as a creator with clarity, creativity, and conscience.
