I’m Hoang Nguyen, a software engineer who grew into engineering leadership and never stopped caring about the craft.
Today, I’m Director of Engineering at ShopBack, where I lead teams across regions to build systems that serve millions of users. Over the years, I’ve worked as an engineer, tech lead, and manager. I’ve shipped big systems, made painful mistakes, coached engineers into leadership, and learned the hard way that building good software isn’t just about code. It’s about people, clarity, and judgment.
I started writing at codeaholicguy.com as a habit for more than 10 years, a way to think out loud, reflect on how I work, and share what I’ve learned. When AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Cursor entered my daily workflow, I didn’t just see a productivity boost, I saw a shift in how we solve problems, collaborate, and define engineering itself. This book came from that shift.
It’s not about hype. It’s about how we adapt.
