Programmers HATE When Managers Do This

Are you a programmer, or in any individual contributor tech role really? Considering switching into management? Be VERY careful. Most companies will not prepare you for what it takes to really be an effective manager. If you've ever been upset with a manager or felt like they weren't equipped to do their job, it's probably because they were promoted due to their success as an individual contributor - but weren't taught effective management techniques and strategies. In this episode, I'd like to help you avoid being looked at as incompetent by other programmers or anyone in any software development role. You already know that programming and other tech jobs require intentional and ongoing study and improvement. Management is no different!
