Title: I was recently promoted to an engineering management position of a tiny team. I&#x27;ll be expected to contribute code while we&#x27;re still small, then gradually fill my hours with more managerial activities as we grow.<p>I&#x27;ve never managed people, let alone an engineering org. What books can teach me solid principles for maximizing our team&#x27;s impact? I&#x27;ve read so many horror stories about &quot;We switched to X software development philosophy and it was a disaster: News at 11&quot; I&#x27;m wondering if there are classic instructional books&#x2F;resources that still ring true today, cutting through the latest fads.<p>Is the Mythical Man Month still a good start for the software&#x2F;project side of things, for example?
