This is a great response.
Just because many have failed at the role doesn't mean we have to keep failing. It just means we need to grow from their mistakes.
I've been working 7 years as a software engineer, and I've been programming for 15 years now. I've seen outdated washed out leaders that just fill their spot and warm their chairs, and I've been honored with bright committed involved tech leads that have inspired and pushed me above and beyond.
I can only aspire to be a fraction as good as they are, and I'll be happy with my role.
They weren't the best at the minutia of day to day coding examples, but the moral in their decision making was impeccable, their ethics were remarkable, and they are to this day at the top of their game in knowledge of design patterns and best practices. All of this is framework agnostic and goes beyond coding. And that is what to me makes a great tech leader awesome.
