The link path is broken: the new post lives under Blog/2025, but this link points to the repository root. Update the href to the correct relative path.

| In winter 2021, the CTO of VueStorefront sent me a message, "We would like you to lead the Vue Storefront Magento team." After years of writing code and being a "pixel-perfect" frontend developer, this was my chance for promotion. However, as I was about to discover, the path from being a skilled programmer to an effective tech lead was far more demanding than I had imagined. | ||

| When I worked as a programmer, I had everything under control. I could find a solution to almost every problem. I felt like an expert in my field. | ||

| I'd never been a project/team leader, so the offer from VueStorefront was quite interesting at the time. |

[nitpick] Inconsistent brand spelling on the same line: 'VueStorefront' vs 'Vue Storefront'. Please standardize (e.g., 'Vue Storefront') and use it consistently.

| In the first weeks, I felt like I was wearing someone else's shoes. The skills that made me an effective programmer—deep focus, technical perfectionism, and independent work—were no longer enough. | ||

| I painfully recognized all my weaknesses. I tried to figure it out, caught up, and worked my ass off. Every day was incredibly intense. |

[nitpick] Grammar/parallelism: 'caught up' breaks the parallel structure after 'tried to'. Consider: 'I tried to figure it out, catch up, and work my ass off.'

[nitpick] The '===' operator reads like code and is awkward in prose. Consider rephrasing to: 'More hours at work doesn't equal better results.'

| After that, I started setting clear boundaries between work time and private time, treating my energy as a limited resource that needed to be carefully managed. | ||

| I tried a lot to recover, but finally, after three years, I decided that I needed to step back and stop being a team lead. Anyway, I learned a great deal, and it was worth the time and energy I invested. |

[nitpick] Grammar: 'I tried a lot to recover' is unnatural. Consider: 'I tried a lot of things to recover,' or 'I tried hard to recover,' keeping the rest of the sentence as is.
