Training Tech Leads by Thoughtworks published on 2015-07-14T16:15:22Z In this episode, we talk about the role of a tech lead and how Pat Kua is helping new tech leads on their journey. We talk about the responsibilities of a tech lead and how this can be very overwhelming in the beginning. We also discuss the importance of a technical vision, what distinguishes a technical vision from an architecture and how we can teach tech visioning. Every tech lead has his own style, so Pat tells me. So if you are new to the job, you will need to develop your own style. So, what should a participant in a tech lead program take out of it, I ask. Pat responds: “I would like to take the participants to say that they are comfortable [...] with the many responsibilities a tech lead has to deal with. I’m not expecting them to be experts in every skill.” We close by talking about Pat’s Book “Talking with Tech Leads”, with interesting interviews from tech leads all over the industry.
