Challenges of managing a growing tech team

As a company grows, challenges arise in managing a tech team that has expanded from a small group of brilliant engineers to a much larger team. The original engineers, who were crucial to the company's success, had deep knowledge of the infrastructure and coded at a rapid pace. As the company grew, new team members struggled to keep up with the fast-paced coding and understand the extensive codebase. This posed a challenge for the team lead who had to ensure team health, meaningful pull request reviews, and discussions on complex technical systems, while also uniting diverse team members and handling a significant project.
