Out of curiosity, why are you still coding as the Chief Technology Officer? I knew some CTO's that wrote the initial code (ergo, code quality totally sucked), or would write a 1-off extension (where the code quality didn't matter much). Once the company achieved some size (>5 developers) they just didn't do it anymore / it wasn't a quality use of their time. As they matured, they tended to focus on the data schema and the soa architecture, and less on the bits and bytes of functions and frameworks. What drives you to keep being the primary coder?
