Over the 4-day holy week break, I can’t help the need to be “productive” — so I thought of learning Vuejs. I spent a few hours in between spending time with family and friends and playing with Cody learning about Vue.
During the drive home, somehow it hit me. My mindset was still a developer and not a people developer. Of all the things I can work on, I was working on being a better developer. I could have listened to a podcast on how to build better teams, and be a better leader.
This mindset was also exposed by the fact that I still think that if my staff can’t handle a development task, I would take over. I wonder what kind of developers would be produced by this type of leadership?
This is my journey from being a developer towards people developer.
