### AI overview

The article argues that European discussions about digital autonomy and sovereignty are stalled and need to move beyond legislation and references to European values. It calls for broader civil-society involvement, including procurement officials, IT departments, vendors, and government executives, to support practical progress.

### Source excerpt

By now (happily) everyone wants to talk about digital autonomy, although some parties insist we talk about sovereignty. Fine. tl;dr: The discussions on digital autonomy are now going round in circles. Civil society and think tanks want to contribute, and are well placed to do so. In this piece, I urge everyone to look further ahead, beyond legislation and talking about European values. The road to digital sovereignty is very long, and we need to make progress along that entire road, which includes things further afield than what we are discussing now.

### AI overview

Tom Verilli discusses Whatnot's deliberate product culture and argues that the product manager role has become diluted by organizational scale, hiring growth, and management incentives. He suggests that succeeding in an AI-driven industry depends on doing the right product work rather than relying on tools alone.

### Source excerpt

Tom Verilli | Chief Product Officer In the last two years, 31,832 people applied to be a Product Manager at Whatnot. We hired one. You're twice as likely to hit a hole in one as you are to get a job by simply applying. That's not a process failure. I've been building products -- and product teams -- for over a decade, and one of the biggest factors in deciding to come to Whatnot ~3 years ago was the very deliberate product culture. No one knows what it means to be a PM in the world of AI, but everything I see says the industry is moving towards us and how we build here -- because no tool will make you useful if you aren't doing the right job. First: we have to acknowledge that the average PM is deeply average. The product function emerged in response to scale -- engineering teams got too big for CEOs or GMs to manage directly, so a business <> tech conduit was needed. Over time, we lazily generalized the role to "every time you hire an Engineering Manager, you hire a PM". But where an Eng Director managed 30-40 people through their EMs, a PM Director just managed five. Incentives govern the world, so those directors' jobs became "justify growing my eng partners headcount" so they could, in turn, grow theirs to become a VP. Slowly, the role of junior PMs shifted from "CEOs of the product" to "babysitters of buttons" and product-minded engineers to infantilized order takers. Then COVID hit, and the industry hired a mind-boggling 500,000 new software engineers in just four years, and ~80,000 new PMs were minted to match. That's 80,000 PMs buried within gargantuan teams at FAANG, far from any customer, 50 layers from the zoom where it happens, taught paint-by-number PM'ing at a product school, in an era of unearned engagement growth where seemingly anything worked. The likelihood of someone emerging from that with great product instincts, experience, and grit actually feels less likely than hitting a hole in one. Second: we made our best, worse. When your job is supervising

### AI overview

An engineering manager argues that managers must become active AI practitioners to lead AI transformation. The author describes joining a small engineering team, using Copilot to contribute to the project, and producing 89 pull requests while also breaking production features and identifying gaps in integration testing.

### Source excerpt

AI-first Engineering is now the operating default in many organizations, including mine. Developers have kept up. Vibe coding became agentic engineering, and the race towards truly autonomous engineering isn't slowing. But what are we, managers, to do? A manager job continues to include recruiting and retaining people, setting clear goals and expectations, fostering communication, owning team workflows, and coaching daily behaviors. To this list we must now add driving AI transformation. Being a passive advocate is not enough. Unlike other subjects, no amount of AI training will help you keep up with the pace of evolution of this technology. Therefore, one cannot drive AI transformation without being an active AI practitioner. But what does being an active AI practitioner look like for a manager? To find out, I landed myself into a small Engineering team (7 people) within my 100+ people organization five weeks ago. This small group develops an essential internal Microsoft system used by every single Engineer at the company. I wanted to learn firsthand about their challenges by onboarding into the project, and maybe contribute 2-3 PRs myself. I decided to dedicate my Copious Free Time™ to this work, to only use Copilot (you can use Claude, or another CLI, too), and to attend the team's daily standup. Before I talk about what I did or learned, I must apologize to the team for giving them a heart attack upon my arrival. It's rare that a VP of Engineering, many levels "above", inserts themselves into any team unless there's some huge, urgent, problem. This wasn't an issue with the specific team, but transforming the way we work remains absolutely urgent, and it's my responsibility to do everything I can to make it happen. Initially, I expected to make 2-3 pull requests. Instead, I was able to make 89 (!), broke at least two production features, but also shipped some meaningful improvements. These fell into several categories. Improved developer experience. I fixed sever

### AI overview

An opinion article argues that AI coding assistants increase code output without replacing the experienced judgment needed for quality and review. It recommends prioritizing senior expertise over larger mixed-experience teams when planning engineering headcount.

### Source excerpt

Before AI coding assistants, a typical engineering team of 8-10 people might have been lucky to have one or two "10x engineers", or "workhorses", the kind of engineer that both keeps project quality and feature velocity high. AI tools have solved the workhorse half of this equation, enabling massive raw output. Today, almost every engineer can produce a high volume of code with GitHub Copilot, Claude, or Cursor. But the quality half of the equation has not kept up. Teams are shipping more code, but a greater fraction of it is AI slop: plausible-looking, locally coherent, globally wrong. Code review remains a human activity. Until that changes, AI assistants cannot substitute for the senior engineer. If AI triples output but the number of senior reviewers stays the same, the ratio of experienced judgment to code produced has gotten roughly 3x worse. The instinctive response to higher individual productivity is to hire fewer people, which is correct directionally but wrong in practice if you cut experience rather than volume. The difference is not in lines of code produced; it is in the accumulated judgment applied at every decision point. A team of four or five senior engineers with AI assistants will, in my experience, outperform a team of ten mixed-experience engineers with the same tools because the ratio of judgment to output stays healthy. This has implications for how engineering leaders should think about headcount planning. A well-functioning engineering team today should be five to seven people, with at most one junior. A reliable signal that you've gotten this wrong: pull requests that sit unreviewed for days, not because people are busy, but because no one feels confident enough to approve them. Smaller, more experienced engineering teams are not a new idea - Fred Brooks noted that you cannot make a late project earlier by adding people. What AI has done is make the argument sharper and more urgent. When every engineer can produce the volume that once requ

In today's shocker, Meta is to "create a new applied AI engineering organization aiming for an ultra-flat structure of up to 50 employees to one manager". Like all software engineers I, too, tend to apply a data-driven, mathematical approach to every problem in the world. Yet I would have chosen a more romantic number and applied the golden ratio: roughly 1.6:1, the proportion that shows up in seashells, galaxies, and every second slide about "natural elegance", rather than 50:1, a measure that feels less like harmony and more like a spreadsheet's idea of efficiency. The idea of flattening an organization is not new and can be a good one. I know plenty of managers who have not done any individual contributor work, code or otherwise, in years. This is particularly striking with former strong coders who are promoted to managerial roles. After 2-3 cycles of promotions they are so far detached from what's happening at the individual-contributor level that they become 100% overhead, spending their entire life in meetings and actively preventing real work from being done. It's natural to want to eliminate layers of such people as they simply don't have any impact. And so, the real news at Meta is that it's fighting its own organization design in which, at least in some teams according to my friends who work or have worked there, people managers are discouraged from doing deep technical work, don't own much beyond process, and mostly serve as reporting-structure placeholders. Another reason to flatten an organization is the introduction of AI assistants that have created a major shift in the capabilities of individual contributors. Two years ago you could maybe find one single "10x engineer" in every team--someone who has dramatically higher velocity than their peers. A good manager would recognize these extraordinary abilities, make such an individual their right hand and technical partner, share the responsibility of advancing a project, create effective mentorship, and h

### AI overview

The article argues that hierarchical software organizations can create excessive status-reporting work and meetings. It proposes using AI to automate most of that reporting while preserving the coordination benefits of organizational hierarchy.

### Source excerpt

One of the negative side effects of having any top-down command structure is that every additional layer risks introducing a new level of bureaucracy, which then actively subtracts value. Consider the Politburo of the USSR with dozens of offices of skilled bureaucrats. Because most produced no actual value, the best apparatchiks spent their entire time managing up to remain in control. Individuals who tried to upend the system either became exhausted and gave up, or were deported to Siberia. The Soviet example also applies to software development. Consider a typical CEO -> CTO -> VP of Engineering -> Director -> Manager -> Technical Lead -> IC command structure. Each project team consists of a technical lead and a handful of individual contributors. The people committed to the project do not need status reports to know what's going on, they are actively working on it. The stakeholders and the hierarchy, however, naturally want progress and status reports. This gets aggregated at Director level, then at VP level, the CTO, and finally the CEO. From the point of view of every manager in this hierarchy collecting status and asking questions feels very natural. After all, it's much more efficient to get a summary of what's going on from a line manager than to read every status update or code change yourself. You have the power to call a meeting, have things explained and summarized to you. You also have the authority to make snap judgments based on this carefully crafted summary and partial information, and the responsibility to tell the team to focus on something they likely already know. This system quickly promotes those who are good at reporting the things their manager wants to hear, and encourages political behavior as people learn to navigate the system rather than focus on outcomes. It's worth acknowledging that these hierarchical structures exist for good reasons. Large organizations need coordination, resource allocation, and strategic alignment. The problem isn't hi

### AI overview

This opinion article argues that managers should not simply dictate technical decisions to engineers. It uses the Challenger disaster and several software failures to illustrate the risks of sidelining engineering judgment, then distinguishes managerial direction from peer-level disagreement and commitment.

### Source excerpt

A famous example where telling Engineers what to do backfired was the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986. Engineers at Morton Thiokol, the contractor responsible for the shuttle's solid rocket boosters, warned NASA management that the O-rings in the boosters could fail in cold weather. The night before launch, engineers strongly recommended delaying the launch due to unusually low temperatures. Management, under pressure to proceed, overruled the engineers' concerns and told them to "make a recommendation based on data, not emotion." Eventually, management told the engineers to sign off on the launch, despite their objections. The shuttle launched in cold weather, the O-rings failed, and the Challenger exploded, killing all seven astronauts on board. This wasn't a software problem, but plenty of software engineering disasters are documented. The Knight Capital Group trading loss (2012), where rushed deployment caused a $460M loss, the Ariane 5 rocket failure (1996), where reused code not designed for the new rocket led to its destruction, the Therac-25 radiation overdoses (1985-87), where ignoring software safety warnings resulted in patient deaths, and the Healthcare.gov launch (2013), where ignoring technical advice led to a high-profile, catastrophic rollout. In each case, sidelining engineering judgment in favor of business or schedule pressures led to major failures. I bet you have your own disaster story. To quote you, "I told you so!". Yet, engineering managers continue telling engineers what to do every day. And not just engineers - all subordinates. Sometimes, it's time pressure. More often it is because managers are also engineers, and occasionally more experienced, so we think we just know better. Do we? I tell my direct reports that there's nothing I can make them do, but that there may be real consequences. I once refused to do something highly problematic my manager asked me to do, and instead said I'll think about it. It was a clever response,
