You are right; you have to relate to the problems to value your people more I find. I used to jump into code as cto and I lost good people because of it as they felt it was lack of trust (it was I think but I did not realise that back then). When understanding how things work and giving the team the means to get it done by supporting them instead of trying to do their job is something I see go wrong in many cto’s, including my former self. I still like coding more than managing but I realise that there are other people so much better at the code part and I need to hire and guide them.
