One on them was called Kermiche.
I guess that makes him Kermiche the Frog?
|
|
|
|

Nah he was Muslim - so his fingers didn't smell like bacon.

Mon dieu!
Upon consideration (and not even much of it), talking about Kirmiche the Frog's fingers smelling like bacon would seem to border on breaking the KSS rule.

After over 20 years of development it turns out my company is transitioning me into more of a project manager role. Yay! But, this is bit of a new venture for me since I've only done development work pretty much my entire life (since the age of 14, I'm 37 now). I see myself as an artist that enjoys creating - hands on type thing. That will never go away, but this change is needed in my career and in life as I grow my career.
So, I know some CPians here have taken this road as well. And um, not to sound like a newbie posting programming questions in the Lounge, but... are there any words of advice or have resources for the new guy transitioning into the managerial role?

Run?
All kidding side, RUN!
ok, no really. The #1 rule is that you, as a manager, do not dictate, you facilitate.
That means:
- ask questions
- ask questions
- ask questions
Make decisions based on what your peons underlings team suggests. If you don't agree, say concretely why and discuss so that even better solutions can present themselves.
The idea is, when you facilitate them getting their job done, they will start caring about how they can facilitate you getting your job done.
[edit] And if you succeed at that, you will be demoted because you're successful, threaten other teams, and/or are threat to your boss or the entire corporate en-cultured politics. You have been warned. RUN! [/edit]
[edit2] Oh, and rule #2 - never take credit for anything. Always give credit to your team [/edit2]

Oh, and btw Marc... JavaScript.

I agree with this. In fact I have a book on it. Good time to dust it off.

You ARE evil. Javascript is not actually that bad (did I just say that?) I had someone tell me recently that Javascript is a prototype-based language. That really helped to shift my paradigm in thinking.
My main problem with Javascript is not the language, but the programming style that I often see. I find that Javascript programmers throw out everything they've learned about good programming when writing in JS. I was doing the same, which made me look at what I was doing. Functions hundreds of lines long, everything is strings, no type checking so it becomes a mess trying to figure out what the data types are. I learned to force myself to write small functions, create a reusable js file of useful stuff, use really meaningful variables (back to Hungarian notation in some cases so I know the type), take a lot of notes on all the bizarre one off stuff, and as for the lack of strong typing, well, I haven't played with Typescript, but it's on my to do list.
