Developers often face the decision of choosing between staying technical or transitioning into leadership roles.
The choice between technical and leadership paths is not a permanent one but rather about where one's strengths lie and where they find fulfillment.
The technical path involves mastering skills like architecture, performance, and scalable systems while leadership focuses on mentorship, creating environments for great code, and fostering team growth.
Myths about growth paths include the misconception that growth only happens through management roles, when in reality, technical roles offer valuable growth opportunities as well.
