In many developers' lives comes a time when they move on from "coder" to "lead" to "architect" (or similar terminology) and maybe all the way to CTO. After a while it gets harder to grasp the concepts the "coder" people are talking about, even though it seems like just yesterday. And it's not imposter syndrome, it's something entirely different ! In this talk, we'll walk through this journey, which is not always a one-way street, to illustrate that how you approach this journey makes all the difference to yourself and your team.

Lovely personal story about finding your own happy place on the work ladder.

Probably one of the best talks about developer life/progression. Id recommend every new/junior developer hear this talk - including any new manager/lead/executive
