Supporting your peers' growth as a tech lead
summary
Mentoring as an IC moves measurable outcomes: pairing new hires as a body onboarding contact raises 7‑day satisfaction ~23% and 90‑day satisfaction ~36%, and productivity jumps from 56% to 97% when new hires meet their buddy regularly. Practical moves are shown: build a simple IDE‑to‑browser tool, push a React feature to production, break large work into end‑to‑end parcels so developers own them, follow a Tesla‑style supervision (stay attentive, keep a hand on the wheel, be ready to brake) and delegate and supervise while trusting peers to grow.
