The evolution of technology companies from a few people hacking to large valuable public companies requires strong technical managers. Technical management can be viewed through the lens of two important transitions - The first the transition from being an individual engineer to a manager of people; the second transition from a manager of individual contributors to a manager of managers. Understanding these two transitions and navigating them effectively is a critical skill.
