## What it is
A curated awesome-list compiling resources, advice, and anecdotes for software developers transitioning into engineering management roles. It covers the full management career track, from first-time team leadership up to executive and CTO-level responsibilities.

## Use cases
- transition from software engineer to engineering manager
- learn what an engineering manager role involves
- resources for new engineering team leads
- how to become a CTO from a developer background
- best practices for hiring and onboarding engineers
- advice on engineering team culture and motivation
- prepare for a management career track

## When to choose
- you are a developer considering or starting a move into management
- you want a curated bibliography of management articles, books, and discussions rather than a single opinionated course
- you need practical, experience-based insights on recruitment, onboarding, motivation, and team culture
- you are an existing manager looking to level up to managing managers or executive roles

## When to avoid
- you need hands-on tools or software for project tracking, HR workflows, or team collaboration rather than reading material
- you want formal management training or certification with structured exercises
- you are looking for generic business or people-management content unrelated to software engineering teams
