Frequently asked

Which blogs should engineering managers follow?+
The blogs I keep recommending are Plato, Rich Mironov, Marcus Blankenship, lethain.com and LinearB. They cover tech leadership, product management, org structure and engineering metrics. Nave covers the Kanban method, cutle.fish covers product management, and Medium and HBR under the leadership tag fill the rest.
Which podcasts should engineering managers listen to?+
Two podcasts: Software Engineering Daily for tech and leadership, and Agile Amped for process flow and agility. Poddtoppen covers similar ground. The rest of what I recommend is written: Plato, Rich Mironov, lethain.com, LinearB, and Medium or HBR under the leadership tag.
Where can I find a full list of engineering management feeds?+
The full list lives in my GitHub repo Software-engineering-management-lab, in the file Feeds Engineering Management.md. The knowledge page on marian.coach carries more sources. The post itself holds the shortlist: blogs and podcasts covering leadership, product management, Kanban, engineering metrics and agility.
How do you keep up with engineering leadership reading?+
Curate a small set of feeds and keep asking other leaders what they are reading. I published this list in 2020 and still curate it. The GitHub feed file and the knowledge page hold the long version; the post holds the shortlist I keep returning to.
