My best piece of advice for managing anyone in any position is ensure you are constantly working on your communications skills. Make sure you are making enough time to both talks and listen to those you are managing. Having a clear line of free communication will make sure everything is running smoothly. I would recommend reaching out weekly to all of your team members individually (provided the team is not too large). Try not to make it a canned message, elaborate a bit more. This goes doubly for people you manage who you would have viewed as peers before, they may not be used to that dynamic.

I am sorry I don't really have anything specific related to developers, but hopefully, that will be helpful in some way.
