Engineering Leadership Reading List - July 2025

This month's Engineering Leadership Reading List for July 2025 addresses AI product development and workflow integration. How Engineers and PMs should collaborate on Evals examines evaluation frameworks for AI-powered features, emphasizing cross-functional collaboration between product and engineering on success metrics, testing strategies, and quality gates. This represents emerging best practices as teams navigate the unique challenges of shipping ML-powered capabilities where deterministic testing proves insufficient.

Personal workflow documentation appears through My LLM Codegen Workflow ATM, sharing detailed patterns for integrating AI coding assistants into daily development practice. The article moves beyond hype toward honest assessment: where these tools excel, where they fail, and how experienced developers adapt workflows to leverage capabilities whilst avoiding pitfalls. This pragmatic documentation helps teams develop realistic expectations and effective integration strategies.

July's theme centers on adaptation: leaders must develop new evaluation frameworks for AI features, whilst individual contributors refine personal workflows around rapidly evolving tooling. The reading list documents practical responses to technological change, emphasizing experimentation, measurement, and honest assessment over buzzword adoption or defensive rejection.

As always, the Quantum Fax Machine Propellor Hat Key will guide your browsing. Enjoy!
