If you've been promoted to a tech lead, then you're ready to transition. The management knows what it's doing when it raises you, so by the time it happens, you will already find yourself prepared. It comes naturally over time.
Not always true. Especially in start ups. Start ups don't have the luxury to afford the money and/or time to find the right candidate. So often if someone leaves the next senior person will replace him/her.
There's also the famous en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle "The Peter Principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter, which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to their "level of incompetence": employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another"
"World is no longer binary" and "People are really complex" is very true. Great presentation, thanks.
Next week I start as a tech lead for the first time in 8 years. Wish me luck!
Amazing presentation, being a tech lead it helps to get more knowledge from people around the world.
I'm starting a new project and moving into the tech lead role.

5 minute talk stretched to 30 minutes.
Like every talk ever, you mean?
Nah, that was good content. And the time is good as a very active reflection period.
