At what point in your career did you decide to code less and do more management?

For me, it was when I realized managing projects gave me a broader impact

How did you transition? Did you get promoted or applied for a management position directly?

My transition happened organically,started with leading small projects, then got promoted to a management role after proving my impact. No direct apply, just grew into it. How do you see your path evolving?

That's a great way to get into it. 

A few years ago, I naturally started managing the releases for the company I was working for. However, that wasn't directly managing a team. I found that there is a limit on the impact one can give as a developer, and I've started working on core management skills.

what are the top 3 core management skills?

I'd say the top 3 core management skills are: 1) Effective communication, 2) Strategic planning, and 3) Team motivation
