> My personal advice, stay out of product code/client code ... Sage advice and I understand and agree with what you wrote about the role. The founders do not see a CTO in this light. They see me as more of a Super Senior Developer, Dev Team Manager, and Lead Architect all in one. For instance, when the client and the founders have meetings about upcoming feature dev, the tickets are by default assigned to me if they are too complex as the juniors won't be able to handle it. And I'm only 3 months in so I don't want to push too many buttons and push back because this stuff needs to get done and there's no one who can do it at this time. Thus, I don't see it changing much as we have 4 junior to mid-level developers and have a ton of big platform style projects...
