Lead your team like a knight!
Once you get good at the tech stuff, you get to do less of the tech stuff. With all your new responsibilities, it's pretty normal to feel overwhelmed. There is an entire new skillset to be mastered!
Your meetings with management feel like a sword fight. Your junior developers demand attention like a bunch of squires. Whenever you are dealing with stakeholders, you feel like you're out of place at the lord's fancy banquet. And whenever somebody asks you about the next release, you feel like the commoners are bugging you about when the next joust is going to take place.
You're going to need to become a knight in shining armor to keep this show rolling. In this talk, Hannes will give you some practical advice on how to become that knight. Get a grip on the situation, regain your sanity and become the new champion.
