The biggest part that really influenced me wanting to become a manager was wanting to see people succeed and setting them up for that success, but also wanting to get out of the programming side myself. There's people that are so good at the technical work, and I'm not bad at it, but there's a lot of people that are way better at it than I am. And so what I wanted to do was be able to work between these really technical folks and the business and be able to bring them together and say, okay, here's what the business needs.
