Beyond the headlines: Engineering leadership in 2025
summary
Survey of 1,000+ engineering leaders presents concrete numbers: 54% expect no headcount change in 2025, while 60% say AI has not significantly boosted team productivity and 22% report critical burnout. Findings cite GitHub Copilot studies and a JP Morgan claim of ~20% efficiency gains but show smaller, incremental developer effects (1–10% tasks). The report breaks down role shifts, DEI priorities, and management flattening with hard percentages and sample composition so decisions rest on what actually moved and by how much.
