The path from being a developer to a Tech Lead seems like a scary transition. As a developer, you could focus on constantly learning new tools, libraries, frameworks and programming languages. It was mostly you and the computer. The Tech Lead role feels like a path where you will no longer get to code. You feel like you know what makes a good developer, but you’re unsure about what makes a good Tech Lead. In this talk, Pat Kua will reveal the lessons he wishes he’d learnt as a first time Tech Lead.

"World is no longer binary" and "People are really complex" is very true. Great presentation, thanks.
Next week I start as a tech lead for the first time in 8 years. Wish me luck!
Amazing presentation, being a tech lead it helps to get more knowledge from people around the world.
Wonderful presentation
great presentantion, really helpful content! thanks!
I'm starting a new project and moving into the tech lead role.
Really great
great talk
Good presentation
Excellent presentation !! Can you suggest books to read to become a leader?
Thanks !
Why you gotta call me out on the wanting to just write code all the time?
Great speach
gofmt, and problem with developer’s preference of formatting code solved 😉
Arent those sound like overlap with scrum master or manager role ? 🙄
👍👍
Annoying jumping slides
If you've been promoted to a tech lead, then you're ready to transition. The management knows what it's doing when it raises you, so by the time it happens, you will already find yourself prepared. It comes naturally over time.
Not always true. Especially in start ups. Start ups don't have the luxury to afford the money and/or time to find the right candidate. So often if someone leaves the next senior person will replace him/her.
There's also the famous en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle
"The Peter Principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter, which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to their "level of incompetence": employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another"
but he is not *the* tech lead...
5 minute talk stretched to 30 minutes.
Like every talk ever, you mean?
Nah, that was good content. And the time is good as a very active reflection period.
