Wow! What an extraordinarily unhelpful and bad attitude you have
- kochthesecond 8y agoWhile crude, I believe he is right. I have seen it too many times with project managers and now my CTO. Trying to still code and fix that terrible bug with already too little time. Ends up slowing down everyone because he never can get anything finished, or breaking things on a Thursday at 6:49pm because of the half baked solution he thought was good enough, but exploded in production, which he then has to spend 1 more hour fixing and 6 more hours cleaning up the aftermath. Spend your time reviewing and mentoring and try replacing yourself with someone who has time. You now have important shit to do.
- seibelj 8y agoI have determined that I can still code sometimes and not ruin engineering. Nothing is black and white
- kochthesecond 8y agoThat is good. You know your situation best
- yarper 8y agoI realise it might be shocking to hear but it's genuine and meant sincerely, I think you're probably making a mistake and because you are cto are not being picked up on it
- jacquesm 8y agoNo, you have the bad attitude. You're getting some good advice and you are responding in a way that shows that you are not open to input. Which is exactly why you should stop coding.
- seibelj 8y agoI disagree, every CTO I’ve worked for has their own side projects, no need to lose your mind over it
- knappe 8y agoTo be honest, you're not yet at the scale where this much of a concern. You're either "flat" and about to need to put in structure or you already have it. If you already have the structure in place, then you have at most 4 direct reports and at worst 2 (ideal team sizes being 3-5). I say this not to downplay the work you've done, but instead to put it all in perspective. You're in the `11-50 Engineers: Clinging to coding.` stage.
