How to grow from a programmer to a manager (β€œI want to be the mistress of the sea”)

The fortieth issue of our podcast β€œ To Infinity and Beyond ”, we called β€œ I want to be the mistress of the sea ” because in it (starting from the 12th minute) we talk about what (and how) the programmer needs to do to become a manager, as well we wonder if this should be done at all . We chose this title because the manager and the authority are sometimes synonymous, therefore we make a reference to the power-hungry old woman from the work of A.S. Pushkin β€œThe Tale of the Golden Fish”. Also in this issue we are talking about a change of era in the production industry of specific video content (this is not what you thought about), about the Barmaglot and Russian foreign fairy tales produced by Max Fry.


Our discussion on the topic can be heard (starting from 11:15) in Youtube on Yandex Music in Google podcasts on devices Apple and All Android on our website , on sayte- hosting podcast , in VK and many more where. And below is a brief squeeze-transcript from our dialogue. At the very end of the article is a specific (but not exhaustive) list of steps that you must go through to become a manager.
