The unseen work of engineering management Your best work goes unnoticed... leaddev.com/management/the-u…

The unseen work of engineering management

The hardest parts of engineering management never show up on a dashboard: quiet team tension, overloaded high performers, and growth issues.

Engineers lose 17+ days a year to AI rework. And that’s a conservative estimate! leaddev.com/ai/engineers-los…

Engineers lose 17+ days a year to AI rework

New research puts the AI rework bill at 139 hours per engineer, and that’s the conservative estimate.

AI buries engineering teams in security fixes! AI finds bugs faster than you fix them... leaddev.com/ai/ai-buries-eng…

AI buries engineering teams in security fixes

AI tools now flood maintainers like Google and curl with real vulnerability reports. Your team needs a plan to triage them before the fixes pile up.

AI is burying engineering teams in a torrent of fixes coming across their desk - so how do you handle that? My latest for @TheLeadDev leaddev.com/ai/ai-buries-eng…

The end of Stack Overflow as you know it

The end of Stack Overflow as you knew it: 64% of developers visit less for simple questions, so the company is betting on AI agents.

Long live the engineering manager! Org charts might flatten, but dependencies don’t... leaddev.com/management/long-…

Long live the engineering manager

AI can automate status updates but the engineering manager’s real work of coaching, alignment, and translation is growing faster than AI can replace it.

The reality of being a forward deployed engineer (FDE)

Being a forward deployed engineer (FDE) doesn’t mean you stop making mistakes. It means you’re responsible for finding, communicating, and fixing them.

The AI exploit gap is engineering’s problem now! Security sees the risk. Engineering owns the fix. leaddev.com/ai/the-ai-exploi…

The AI exploit gap is engineering’s problem now

Security can see the AI exploit gap but fixing it falls to engineering teams that are already balancing roadmaps, uptime, and release deadlines.

Your tests can’t catch a poisoned model

A poisoned model can pass every test you run. Here’s how data poisoning slips past engineering practices and what a secure AI lifecycle needs.
