Thanks for your response! I think these tracks make sense except that I wonder if the people skills aspect should be introduced earlier than at the level of Team Lead. I think that developers could use more training in communication, but it's also the fault of the industry for not valuing those skills. Personally I find that the longer I am in a role just coding, the worse my social skills get which kind of sucks considering I used to have pretty good social skills.
