Fireside Chat 19: From Expert Engineer to Terrible Manager

In this episode, the Codurance co-founder Sandro Mancuso, Spain Managing Director José E. Rodríguez Huerta and Special Guest for this episode, the Regional Director for UK South, Steve Lydford discuss their journey from expert engineers to "terrible" managers. This is a common phenomenon experienced by many software engineers as they evolve in their careers. What are the challenges in this transition? Is this a natural evolution? What is the skill mismatch? How to cope with stress and pressure? Those are just a few topics covered in this very insightful episode.

The idea of the Fireside chat series is to record informal conversations between the three regular hosts. Topics are normally decided just before we start recording. Our objective is to have spontaneous conversations instead of something more structured or scripted.
