Re:Ask HN: Advice for a new and inexperienced tech lead? on Friday February 07, 2020 @07:42AM (#22265408)
First ask yourself if you are the kind of person that enjoys serving others. Do you like to help the less experienced guys? Leading ain't about telling people what to do. So if you aim for that back off.

From my experience having kids helps a lot. Look into your past. Did you enjoy organizing stuff? Do you like to communicate with people? Do you have experience lobbing your ideas?

If you ain't scared of that then go and find yourself a mentor. Best would be if that is somebody you already respect.
