The craftsman makes the tools, and the book should lead with them

The making-of book's thesis, stated outright: you cannot separate the creator from the technology, workflows and scaffolding they use. Brian May built his own guitar because craftsmen always did. The founder is never a passive consumer — the power of generative AI here is not writing words but building the environment that makes the writing possible. With the cost named honestly (“you still need really good engineering”) and a limit placed on the method (“I don't think it's realistic to say that somebody without programming experience could provide the prompts I do”). Then the instruction: part one of the book becomes a feature tour — the art of the possible FIRST, the history second, because that is the order that motivates a reader. Plus a new requirement: pages designed for agents to consume.
