That is what the CEO's hope was by bringing me in. However, the company's existing devs(all remote; mostly offshore) have been with them for couple years and are weary of reporting to anyone other than the CEO.
Bottom line: I feel I can get more output done by just working alone than trying to delegate the same programming task among the devs. This won't scale obviously. But the company is pre-rev and not at a point where it needs scaling(the CEO probably disagrees with me on this).
- michaelpinto 15y agoRe-read what you just wrote and you'll see the following: CEO's hope by brining me in - vs - what i want to get done I think I'd follow the CEOs lead — my bet is there's something that is making him unhappy with the offshore team and they know it. And frankly it doesn't matter what you or the offshore team team -- what should matter is what the CEO wants. Frankly my bet is that the CEO is seeing something in you that you haven't yet. Suggestion: Why don't you learn something about managing? Even if you learn to manage your own time it can only help you. I'd suggest reading the "Mythical Man Month" -- it's one of the best software project management books ever written and would help you explain what's needed to management.
