alt Hacker NewsHey, author here :)
Its at least 80% organic artisanal writing and maybe 20% AI when I needed help with grammar, completeness, broader perspective and everything around.

Native English speaker. I scanned it and IMO there's a slight overuse/misuse of hyphens. Maybe the AI tool could be asked to identify and correct? (The hyphens might be triggering people to think it's AI, too).
They mostly need replacing with a full stop or a colon.
E.g.
"In practice this means storing the amount as an integer in its smallest unit - €12.34 becomes 1234"
->
"In practice, this means storing the amount as an integer in its smallest unit: €12.34 becomes 1234."
or
"In practice, this means storing the amount as an integer in its smallest unit (e.g., €12.34 becomes 1234)"

It may be a good idea to start the book with a really short "About the author" to state exactly this and your work experience. Otherwise looks well written to me, good job! :)
