Transitioning From Developer To Management?

An anonymous reader writes "After 15+ years as a code monkey, mostly doing back-end systems design / development, I was surprised by recent developments at my workplace that have resulted in my being transitioned into a dual architect / managerial role within the next few weeks. While I am somewhat confident at this point in my career in my experience and training for an architect-type position, I have serious concerns about being able to properly fulfill the role as manager. Aside from 'Become a manager in 2 days' type books, what resources would you recommend I look to for guidance in this transition?"

It's the "I'd like to share my shitty life and try to make it sound like it is filled with deep choices that require the Internet to band together to solve" stories.

Dude, no one gives a shit about you life.

wow, how intelligent. More incoherent ramblings by a complete microbrain. Your parents must be so very proud that you finally graduated from the fourth grade. Stupid loser.

Try contributing something next time, mmkay?
