About the author
David Kim
3 books6 followersDavid Kim writes about resilience, service, and the reality of building a life worth living.
David's path wasn't linear. After serving in the United States Marine Corps (1991-1999), he launched his civilian career as an engineer at Raytheon. Then came the detour that would reshape everything: a restaurant venture destroyed by partner betrayal, followed by bankruptcy in his forties.
He rebuilt through management consulting, eventually reaching senior leadership roles at Honeywell, Genpact, and Amazon Web Services. That journey from financial collapse to recovery became his first book, The Real Money Guide, a practical approach to personal finance for people who've learned hard lessons about money the hard way. He continues that mission weekly through his podcast, Real Money Pathway, helping listeners navigate their own financial recovery.
His second book, Bullets Don't Fly: A Supply Marine's Memoir, returns to his military roots. David served as a supply administration specialist with deployments to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea. The memoir chronicles the often-overlooked world of military logistics and the quiet strength required to keep the mission running—even when no one's watching.
A first-generation Korean-American born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and raised in Riverside, California, David earned his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science while on active duty, completed his MBA while at Raytheon, and completed coursework towards a PhD in Management and Decision Science.
David lives in the Nashville area with his wife Lacey. He has two adult children, Anabel and Christian.

This is definitely outside my normal reading lane, but I’m glad I picked it up. This book is a practical guide for organizations looking to use AI more effectively throughout the software development process. Instead of presenting a theory, the authors share what they actually did, the problems they ran into, and the lessons they learned while building real applications.
What I appreciated most was how honest the book felt. They explain what worked, what didn’t, and how their process changed as they gained experience. Every recommendation comes from doing the work, not just talking about it.
This isn’t a casual read, and it isn’t for everyone. But if you’re leading a software team, building products, or trying to understand how AI is changing development, there’s a lot to learn here. The focus isn’t on replacing people. It’s on helping teams communicate intent more clearly, verify results, and use AI as an effective tool.
I picked this up out of curiosity and finished it with a much better understanding of how AI is changing the way software gets built. If that’s something your organization is trying to figure out, I think this book is well worth your time.
