This and the comment below are super broad advice that you absolutely don't need to listen to.
I'm the CTO at 100+ person company and write code about 50% of the time.
Do the work you enjoy most. As long as customers are happy and you keep finding more of them, the rest will work itself out.
- aprdm 5y ago100+ person but how many devs? It doesn't feel reasonable for a CTO to be coding 50% of their time. Coding is usually the lowest impact / ROI activity one can have after having a couple of folks under them.
- freewilly1040 5y agoAre you sure your time is really best spent coding? Just because you are able to do it doesn’t mean it’s the best thing for your subordinates or company.
- optymizer 5y agoI can interpret your comment as "I'm a CTO who prefers to spend 50% of their time doing other things because they make me happy". It could be that your code and happiness level benefit the company more than CTO duties, but to me this situation seems like it would be suboptimal for most companies.
