Notes
He estado inmerso en la industria de la tecnología desde 2015. A lo largo de mi carrera he presenciado como personas han ascendido a puestos gerenciales, y al final han terminado, renunciando o solicitando el cambio a posiciones más técnicas.
Gracias a mi participación en diferentes equipos como, he podido aprender piezas claves que necesitan todos los desarrolladores inexpertos a la hora de tradicional a posiciones de líder de liderazgo.
#Key Topics Covered in this Talk
The Path to Leadership
Management is a role change, not just a promotion.
There are many paths into management: accidental (e.g., team lead by necessity) or deliberate (e.g., applying for EM roles).
The Reality of Engineering Management
You become less technical.
Trust is more complex than micromanaging.
No one tells you what to do—you must manage your own time and priorities.
Leadership can be lonely, and people are complex.
Critical Skills for EMs
Communication: written and verbal clarity is essential.
People skills: mentoring, conflict resolution, hiring, team cohesion.
Technical understanding: You must understand code and architecture, even if you’re not writing it.
Surviving the First 30 Days
Listen more than you speak.
Run effective meetings (1:1s, standups, retros).
Understand your new responsibilities and relationships.
Avoid common mistakes: micromanaging, overpromising, staying too close to the code, and overthinking.
