Posting some general questions to get this community going...
I recently moved from a software architect to an engineering manager position after I was asked by my company leadership a few months ago. Mixed feeling about the move. I really like technology and being deep into the code but I am also pretty good at being a manager.
Anyway, why did you make the jump? How has it been?
I haven't personally, but I'd like to share a quote from Richard Hamming on that matter:
When your vision of what you want to do is what you can do single-handedly, then you should pursue it. The day your vision, what you think needs to be done, is bigger than what you can do single-handedly, then you have to move toward management.
