From Developer to Manager by Sean O'Connor As developers move along in their career, they are often encouraged to take on roles that involve more and more people management and less code. Stepping towards management often can be a good move to make, but it is not one that should be taken lightly.
From DjangoCon 2016.
As developers move along in their career, they will often be given the chance to move into management. This can be great, but it can also end in tears. In this talk we'll follow one developer's journey into management. Through that process we'll explore what one should think about before embarking on their own journey as well as some lessons for those who do decide to go down the management path.
