This month's Engineering Leadership Reading List covers AI's impact on engineering roles and scaling fundamentals. AI's Impact On Engineering Jobs argues the effects may differ from what most leaders expect, while Steve Yegge's Software Survival 3.0 lays out what engineering teams need to do to stay relevant. The awesome-cto and awesome-agentic-patterns collections are useful reference libraries, and How to Scale from 0 to 10M+ Users covers system scaling fundamentals.

As always, the Quantum Fax Machine Propellor Hat Key will guide your browsing. Enjoy! engineering-leadership-propellor-hat-key.png
