A short Engineering Leadership Reading List this month. The Mikado Method lays out how to make safe changes in complex codebases by visualizing dependency chains before cutting code, while Andrei Gridnev's Simple Framework for Software Engineering Management gives you a lightweight mental model for the people side. A practical walkthrough of 5 Claude Code skills shows how AI-assisted development fits into daily workflow, and ThoughtWorks gathers senior technologists at their Future of Software Development Retreat in Deer Valley to figure out what comes next.

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