Ask HN: How to Be a Good Technical Lead?

Dear HN,

You've been a source of great information before, and I'm sure I won't be disappointed by your advice.

I worked as a Software Developer all my career (more than 15 years now), but now I'm interviewing for a Technical Lead position. I have almost two weeks before the interview.

I'm interested in resources and advice on how to be a good Tech Lead, regarding both technology and people skills. Of course I've seen and taken note on how other leads work, but still feels like a big step for me.

The development environment is Microsoft.NET. The main product is a complex software. The main goal would be to develop it so that it is "loosely" built, split into separate modules so that each one can be modified without touching the others.
