Any metric becomes a target once people know it’s watched. So what do you pair with throughput when AI writes a growing share of your code, and how do you keep that pairing honest over time?

This #DZone article explores:

AI mandates have had a mixed track record. Most engineering leaders know something isn’t working, but don’t know what to do about it.

Charity Majors (@charity.wtf) and Dr. Cat Hicks are doing a live AMA on exactly that. go.hny.co/47dTv4L

Most technical standards are written once, read twice, and ignored. I think the ones teams follow are short, give reasons, are enforced by tooling, and have an owner.

I started a blog about engineering leadership and the part of the job I care about most: building teams people want to stay on.

Three posts so far, including one about hearing "we've decided to move forward with another candidate."

Growth changes everything.
What works for one developer doesn't always work for an engineering team using AI together. Shared specifications, governance, and project memory become essential as complexity increases.
#AgenticAI #EngineeringLeadership #DeveloperTools

We should move from responsibility-oriented job descriptions to goal-oriented ones.

Not because titles are useless — but because AI is reshaping “the job” faster than any JD can keep up.

Define the outcome. Let the responsibilities evolve.

Your engineers use AI every day. Your board wants proof it's paying off. @vmblog.bsky.social covers the five capabilities Flux launched to answer that question from the code itself, + what Cobalt's CTO can now hand to finance and the board.

90% of engineering orgs now use AI daily. Proving it's paying off is a harder problem.
These are five specific blind spots getting in the way of realizing the benefits of AI; we built capabilities to help engineering leaders address them: www.askflux.ai/press-releas...

A laptop that serves your app is a demo. It has not chosen a home.

Generation made the first half cheap. Next you choose what you refuse to own: a platform your users already live in, one small machine, or a runtime you rent.

Hire, get hired, stay hired, same instinct runs all three. This week's TIE digest follows that arc across 9 reads.

You cannot manage what you cannot see. GearFive shows per-developer, per-model AI coding spend across the whole fleet, not one blended number that hides where the money goes. Start with the truth, then set policy. #FinOps #EngineeringLeadership

(1/2) I am increasingly hearing the term "player-coach" used to describe the engineering manager role. Managers who lead and code. Hands-on, technical, always in it.

One week until LDX3 New York. 🗽

Meet Akuity to talk scalable deployments, governed promotions, and AI-assisted Kubernetes troubleshooting.

You cannot manage what you cannot see. Most teams know their total AI coding bill and nothing under it. GearFive shows per-developer, per-model spend across the whole fleet, so the number finally has a shape. #FinOps #EngineeringLeadership

Hard truth: the strongest teams aren't the ones with fewest incidents.

They're the ones who get calmer, not more chaotic, with every one they survive.

#SoftwareAntifragility #SoftwareEngineering #EngineeringLeadership

A limit a developer can turn off is not a limit. GearFive enforces through MDM and ADE, so the cap ships with the device and cannot be bypassed. That is why the policy actually holds. #MDM #EngineeringLeadership
