Not sure I have exact answer to your question but here are some tips: https://mitrapunk.com/the-essential-transition-from-develope...

Blog about engineering management and building game around it. Also, touching speculative ideas about future of tech and games.

The experience of having a project in production will teach you valuable lessons that can give you a head start over 95% of new software developers.

That's the wrong path, soon Internet for 90%++ will be mixed with AI. Btw - What if I write my game using Chat-GPT?

I'm very happy to meet this point of view. I'm currently working as Engineering Manager in one of the biggest corporations, this is a whole new world of challenges and a place where products you use every day are build.

I'm building a game that will represent my job in game form with all the important aspects of doing this work. As you mentioned in the talk, It will be a playground to safely explore what needs to be done to be a good manager and what you have to know about it for transition from engineers to manager. Ambitious goal for future is actually to emulate the corporation.

So, I support the idea that games are medium for people grow and I'm betting on this with my project.

I'm transforming my career as an Engineering Manager into an indie game. I think I can convey several important concepts from big tech to broader audience to enhance the software development industry. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2436030?utm_campaign=hn2

Also, writing a blog about it in hope to gain a few more wishlisters https://mitrapunk.com/

This is mostly the trick - today you start pet project in python, in a year you need to scale it on 1M clients. No one knows anything about what is right technology as requirements change too quickly.

I'm building a game about engineering management at FAANG that shows the spectrum of managerial role. Might be good to stop reading about managers but try it out, not sure everyone has opportunity to try it at work - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2436030?utm_campaign=hn1

I have not yet, but I'm trying to transform my 20 years of exp in software development into a game about software development - https://devmanager.carrd.co Check in a year if that worked out.

I think at first you need some rest. Second, you need to accept that work cannot be interesting all the time. If that is a problem, consider moving to another project or role, not necessarily now. Different tasks and responsibilities often provide some entertainment.

I cannot say that I fully understand you, but I was in a similar situation many years ago, and I changed my role to engineering manager. However, I am currently feeling that it is not the most exciting thing too, so I have decided to make a game about my role to give more meaning to my work - https://devmanager.carrd.co/

I'm not sure if I answered your question, but maybe there are no good answers to your question.

I'm working as a manager and transitioned to this role for the same reason you mentioned. However, I had been talking to my LM for some time, and he found an opportunity for me.

Simplest way for you to get one more mentee and form a team of 3. The next step is to add one more person to the team. Once your current team lead receives a promotion, you will be next in line for their role. That's the path I'd follow.

The whole AI industry is switching from learning to growing AI from seeds. A grounded language is another seed for AI.
