Is this good

I am slowly growing less technical. Its happened. I no longer can keep up, but thats okay maybe.

Being a developer is sometimes an easier job. Just just get specs and solve a solveable problem with design and creativity. There are simple rewards of getting it right.

But now I'm managing growing behemoth of a project that has 14 people on it. I come to work and have to think about what the heck everyone will be working on. Its not that easy let me tell you, coordinating 5 regions at the same time. Also having these users calling me regularly as the point person and demanding delivery fast, complaining how many people are working and why things take so long to do... I am getting crushed with it all. Recently I appointed 4 lead people to take on some of the responsibility but seems I am still running the show in detail. Phew...

Maybe this is good.. it definitely is a good experience. Going from managing nobody, or a small team, to a monster project.

Well I think its good. We all have to move forward. And I think this is forward for me.
