For quite some time, I have been leading software engineering teams. This is not a piece of advice for current or prospective tech leads. In fact, I believe that most of you are better at managing a group than I am. Nonethelss, I wanted to convey what I have learned from this incredible journey in the hopes of inspiring some of the readers.
There are no rules that you can follow to reach the global optimum of software engineering managment, just as there are not rules for many other kinds of art in the world.
