Consider adjusting your perspective. As you’ve said, you ARE the tech lead right now — you just don’t have any peers. Yet.

Prepare for the day when workload increases to the point where you are hiring in your first resource. You are now the senior in the equation.

This can be an exciting time. What’s the first thing you’ll hand over? Does it make sense the way it works now? What would you do differently?

Ask yourself these questions and make the changes now, while you have time. Prepare for the team you don’t have. Yet.
