I've Become an FE Lead, Is This Really OK?: On a Senior Developer Becoming a Junior Manager
Key point
Kakaopay FE leads gathered to share practical concerns about technical scalability, managing, and web accessibility.
Details
Through the Paytalks with KREW meetup, frontend (FE) leads had an in-depth conversation about the concerns of transitioning from developer to manager and their technical direction.
Regarding the technical scope of FE developers, the leads agreed that beyond simply writing code, an understanding for collaboration with other job functions such as backend, infrastructure, design, QA, and Legal is essential. This is because the more you understand the language of other job functions, the wider the scope of problem-solving becomes and smoother communication is enabled.
On the web accessibility and user experience (UX) front, the following discussions took place.
- Web Accessibility: It is important to comply with legal requirements and to understand the actual needs of users (such as the visually impaired), and strong organization-level guidelines are needed.
- User Experience: Responding to recent trends such as dark mode and improving initial entry speed in mobile environments were cited as key challenges for frontend developers.
