ask somewhere where people have jobs

Well, what did your team lead do?
I know for where I work, it is usually answering questions of your people in your team of how to do their job, hence being a lead.

Depends of your company and its culture.
Some resources you might enjoy:
>Manager Tools (great free podcasts with lots of archive)
>Peopleware
>The mythical man-month
You will want to code more to solve problems but you probably shouldn't.

I used to be a team lead.
Help and mentor the ones who want to be helped. Make sure the 9-to-5 ones who don't care about their job still do something. That's basically it.
There is no secret rule. Ah, and generally you should stop coding because you'll be too busy with everything else: meetings, tickets, code reviews and all that crap.
In almost every company HR are cunts and not on your side. Also, you're supposed to preach the upper management gospel. But it's better to be honest to your team about the true motivations and intentions of your upper management.
Don't act like a cunt, and don't let cunts walk over yourself. I think that's it.

How do I get to be a team lead?
I haven't even been a codemonkey for a full year (full-time) yet, but I'm already getting tired of being the equivalent of being the industry's equivalent of a wagecuck.
I desperately want to switch into a managerial role, and I know for a fact that there are managers with little to no technical experience, so I've gotta have a leg up from them, right?
I'm not saying I want to be a manager or something, just move up in the software development world.

>Have a plan. Explain it simply and quickly.
>Explain why they're doing it. (To increase productivity, to keep the people I'm charge happy, whatever.)
>It doesn't have to be a good plan. Let other people suggest how to make it better.
>Meetings don't have to be long or elaborate. Just clear and concise.
>Set a deadline. Make sure they're 1/4 finished after 1/4 of time has passed, 1/2 finished at the half way point, etc.
>If you're on schedule or ahead of schedule, everyone goes home early. Boosts morale.
>Every now and then order pizzas for everyone.
You can be a cool leader, but be serious about deadlines.
Brody Miller
That is such a bullshit book lol
Oliver Campbell
Ask your boss for a management course. The 2day to SCRUM master courses are dubious in effectiveness but better than nothing.
Read up on it, try to improve.
Joshua Richardson
It's great to see and know some people on Jow Forums of all places are decent team leads
Kevin Murphy
does a team leader need to look like a chad?
Jace Bailey
Just go around and ask everybody what they're doing and if they're having any problems and what they plan on doing next.
Keep notes.
Caleb Roberts
Do your daily scrum. Each day stand with your team in some alley preventing anyone else from crossing and ask them what they did, what problems they had and what they'll do now.
David Rogers
This guy is spot on.

With his own money or company's?

I used to be a team lead
I did what ever it took. I was also the bridge that held the team together.
Whenever anyone needed anything they stopped going to the engineers and the engineers got angry at me.
I became so good in a few months they promoted me to lead engineer.
What do you do as a lead? Go to work in the morning and ask the engineers what they need help with and no matter how small the project you'll take it.
Go and ask supervisors what is coming up and what you can help with.
I wasn't a bad team lead. But the supervisors gave me some stupid shit as a team lead and I overworked myself and my skill level to become top engineer within months..
I can't tell you what to do
Also prepare for the haters.... I was hired on and there where people there who worked longer than me who complained that they were never promoted....
Guess what.
Nobody ever asked them for help or their guidance ?
When I was a nobody I was promoted because you're so fucking good nobody can ignore you
