I just took a technical lead role with a bay area SAAS company.  It&#x27;s been a difficult adjustment having worked on contract where all I did was write code.  Now, I sit in a lot of meetings, do code merges, interview&#x2F;hire developers and worry about blockers on two Jira boards.  Here are a few things you might want to try;<p>If their branching strategy is screwed up, help them fix it.  You are going in to a .net shop and there is a good chance they have TFS.  There is the ALM Rangers branching guidelines you can refer to.<p>Hold a brown bag and show the team how to write unit tests.  Many of the junior developers on the team probably do not understand how to write tests.<p>Hold a team code reviews.<p>Initiate common architectural components like a logging or instrumentation framework.<p>Take on tiny bites of technical debt.<p>Push to get your team re-sharper licenses.
