All of this! Currently trying to put delegation/improving dev experience into practice...
When on a team that follows agile/scrum, getting pulled into sprint/task management, project planning, etc. also takes a good chunk of time and concentration. Sometimes context switching from that to actual "coding" can be jarring, but finding similar ideas and themes that apply to both can ease the transitions; treating both aspects as two sides of the same coin and leaning into the similarities rather than the differences. It's a feeling to be similar to learning a two-handed instrument where you have to finally put both left/right hand parts together and play the thing! :D
++++1 for "Always keep learning". Ironic that seniority in engineering can also come with increased complacency ("I've been doing X-development for 13+ years, I know it all"). This is literally the industry of fast-paced advancement, and constant learning is the only thing that will help us keep up with it!
Absolutely! The additional context switching and added responsibility are probably the hardest parts to manage as a new tech lead. It's a growing experience for sure.
