It’s not the same job!
- forget all about the DRY principle
- you actively don’t want to follow the SRP
- maybe you can think of yourself as a DI container
Your Middle Position
- as a developer you’re between the requirements and the computer
- as a manager you’re between humans and more humans
Humans
- it changes your friendships
- even more than Javascript
- sadly, people are not code
Empathy
- learn the pain points of your boss
- same thing for the people reporting to you
- you want to be “the good guy” in both directions
About You
- don’t let it go to your head
- but don’t be too meek either
What value are you adding?
Practices
- consistency and automation
Tips
- manage outside the system (Trello!)
