It's been interesting to watch how we handle it here at Sentry (75 people) -- my manager, the CEO, still codes every day and a lot of it is non-trivial: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/graphs/contributors https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/graphs/contributors
One pattern that seems to work is to write the code if it's easier to explain it in code (& tests!) than in words.
- awad 8y agoTo be honest, as a customer, this terrifies me if I take you at face value re: 'codes every day'
- marsrover 8y agoWhy?
- ultrasaurus 8y agoFWIW: as the head of product, I code a few times a week but mine is all sample code for our customers or demos. We are a developer focused company so your mileage may vary.
- JimDabell 8y agoThat's interesting! I think he's definitely an outlier though. He must have a good executive team under him to lean on so that he can focus some time every day on development. That's a good rule of thumb too – haven't heard that before.
