> it's up to you, your subordinates, and your boss to define what is your role Totally! And this is exactly why we are using this TLM role so you can try before you buy into full management responsibilities. One of the gravest errors we make in software is assuming that the only way to advance in your career is into management. That said, it's also unfair to assume that great coders will never want to manage. Having a trial role that blends the two responsibilities de-risks the business in new management while allowing developers to see if these new sets of expectations are congruent with how they want to develop their careers.
