IC to Manager

Read Original

This article details the author's personal experience and advice for transitioning from an Individual Contributor (IC) like a software engineer to a Manager. It covers common pitfalls like solving problems with code instead of people management, the ideal team size, and the advantages of promoting managers from within the existing team rather than hiring externally. It also touches on qualities of a good manager and the concept of Radical Candor.
