Your newest colleague writes code faster than anyone you have ever worked with, happily takes on the boring jobs and, every now and then, makes things up with complete confidence. Welcome to agentic engineering.Researchers, analysts and quants write code almost every day, be it for simulations, forecasts or pricing models, yet many have never trained as software engineers. For them, AI coding agents are a gift that comes with a catch. In scientific work, an algorithm is either implemented correctly or it is not, and no amount of AI confidence changes that. There is little room for vibe coding.This book shows how to make the most of AI agents without losing control. It distils the invariants of a fast-moving world into rules that hold no matter which large language model (LLM) is making the headlines. Examples from tools such as GitHub Copilot and Claude Code keep the advice concrete.You will learn what LLMs, agents and harnesses really do, why planning (almost) always pays off, when to start over, how to give your agent the insider knowledge it lacks, and how tests, linters and benchmarks close the feedback loop. The book even turns the tables: your agent gets to review you. Teams will find guidance on honest AI use, code review as the new bottleneck, backfiring KPIs and whether to let an agent replace a dependency. The book pays just as much attention to the risks, including comprehension debt, automation complacency, brain rot, lost paper trails, context overload, spiralling token costs, constant distraction and leaked intellectual property. Along the way, you will find out why an agent's "leaner" rewrite can end up slower, and why "The agent said so" will satisfy neither auditors nor peer reviewers.Newcomers and seasoned agent users alike will find short chapters with self-contained sections, FAQs and example prompts.AI will not make you a better scientist or analyst by itself. Used mindfully, though, it might just give you the time back to be one. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 154.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Home-set, Mannheim, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
