As someone who has successfully transitioned from being a developer to a manager, I can attest that managing a team is fundamentally different from coding. Managerial success is often achieved through others, as it requires building and enabling an entire team to be successful, rather than just solving individual technical problems. This involves making incremental changes, measuring them, and then improving them, while also being aware of the needs of different jobs and teams. Additionally, managerial successes are often harder to measure and may not have a direct impact on the business, unlike programming success which can be more tangible. However, as a manager, one's success can still bring joy and pride, particularly when they see their team members grow and thrive. Ultimately, measuring success as a manager requires a deeper understanding of individual strengths and weaknesses, team dynamics, and the ability to guide others towards long-term growth and improvement.
