San Francisco, CA – February 9, 2026 – Applied AI for Software Engineers: A Beginner’s Playbook for Software Engineers To Leverage AI in Their Daily Workflows, a new best-selling guide by software engineer and tech content creator David Pichsenmeister, is now available. The book reached #7 Best Seller status in the Software Engineering category and is designed to help software engineers at any level understand how to integrate AI tools into their development work without technical jargon or hype-driven tactics.
Rather than focusing on AI theory or future predictions, Applied AI for Software Engineers explains AI adoption through practical fundamentals such as effective prompting, knowing when to trust AI output, and maintaining human expertise. The book is written in accessible language and is intended for readers who want AI to become a productivity multiplier rather than a confusing threat or replacement.
Pichsenmeister brings over a decade of hands-on experience shaping the conversational AI movement, currently working on Slack’s Developer Platform focusing on AI-powered no-code tools. His approach emphasizes understanding what AI tools excel at, where they fall short, and how developers can position themselves for success by working alongside AI rather than against it.
“AI won’t replace you… but an engineer using AI might”, said Pichsenmeister. “This book focuses on the mindset and workflows that help you adapt fast enough to stay ahead”.
The book is available now on Amazon.
