This is not a story of how I survived a big technology company or startup. This is not the story of a young junior developer working his way through the ranks to become the greatest leader of all.
No. Instead, this is the story of how I became a lead developer and all the things I did wrong. It's about delegating, culture building, mentoring, planning, meetings (oh dreadful meetings), upper management and all the other stuff that a leader has to go through. It's also about all the fun I had and the things I learned. Next to that, I'm going to hand out some tips that can prepare you for the job a little better. And hopefully, it will inspire you to be the greatest leader of all.
Side note: This talk is based on my well received blog post on dev-human: http://dev-human.com/entries/2015/09/07/things-i-was-unprepared-for/
This is a really great topic and I personally love talks that take the form of walking the audience through your mistakes and how you learned from them. I agree with @chrisseaton, though, that the tone of the abstract is a bit negative. You're coming at this as having walked through the fire and now you're extending a hand back to those who are about to follow in your footsteps, right? Focus on the positives and why they should be excited and inspired to become great leaders.
