AI: Breaking Change
Exploring a new software paradigm to embrace AI
We've been thinking and developing software following principles that were established 70 and more years ago. All our tools, platforms and processes are based on the fact that computing capacity is provided by a metal box and that software must exist only within the confine of a single computer, even when we create networked solutions. While we've been extending the useful life of this paradigm for the past few decades, the upcoming AI led storm will put tons of pressure and reveal weaknesses that can't easily be worked around. This book gives you a unique perspective on software and offer a path forward to support humanity's next computing chapter, not as users but as AI-peers.

About
About the Book
What if the true bottleneck in our digital age isn’t hardware, data, or even AI—but software itself?
Every week, we hear about revolutionary frameworks, groundbreaking tools, and disruptive platforms. Yet beneath the surface of all this innovation, one thing hasn’t truly evolved: the way we build software. The foundational model of computing we rely on today was designed for a world of personal computers—not for a hyper-connected, AI-infused society.
As intelligent agents rise and begin to reshape industries, economies, and daily life, we face a dangerous mismatch. Our current software paradigm wasn’t built to handle this future. If we don’t rethink it now, we risk automating ourselves out of the loop—excluded from decisions, systems, and even our democratic processes.
This book is a wake-up call.
It dives deep into overlooked flaws in our software foundations, revealing why incremental changes aren’t enough. But more than that, it offers a bold new vision: a paradigm shift that makes computing fluid, collaborative, and human-centered again. Through real-world examples and actionable principles, you’ll discover how we can build more powerful solutions—faster, cheaper, and in harmony with AI rather than in competition with it.
If you care about the future of technology—and your place in it—this book is your blueprint.

About the Author
Joel Grenon
I’ve been in love with software for over 35 years — not just as a profession, but as a lifelong passion. It all started at age 10, writing simple games in BASIC on my Commodore VIC-20, and I’ve never stopped since. I’ve always seen code as a kind of poetry, often reading C source code for pleasure and inspiration. I’m a self-taught learner at heart, always curious, always experimenting, even before studying computer science formally. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats — developer, architect, manager — but my goal has always been the same: to build better, smarter software. In the mid-90s, I embraced Agile ideas early on, realizing smaller steps help avoid wasted effort and align better with real needs. Later, chaos theory and decentralized systems sparked new ideas for self-replicating software and federated databases. Bitcoin and Ethereum only deepened my thinking about what’s possible.
In the past 10 years, I've obsessed with applying chaos theory to software, trying to move away from the structured approach to embrace a more natural evolution, the emergence of software systems from simple self-aware components.
