About this listen

Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V killed craftsmanship — speed now pretends to be intelligence, and repetition masquerades as reasoning.

A brutal manifesto against the decay of real software engineering.

This book is not a tutorial. It’s not a course. It’s a call to arms.

Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and the Death of Reason lays bare how modern dev culture—addicted to copying, drowning in frameworks, and allergic to fundamentals—has replaced understanding with assembly. It challenges every developer to ditch the cargo cults and reclaim the lost discipline of actually knowing what the hell you’re building.
