While a CTO needs to have grown up in the technical trenches to have credibility, a CTO should not be making any technical decisions anymore. If they are, that's a red flag for a CTO who can't let go and keeps micromanaging.
- sercand 4y agoIt depends on the company size. On a small startup with 10 people and a company with 1000 people have different CTO definitions and roles.
- jjav 4y agoYes, certainly. In a tiny startup the CTO is just a lead developer with more stock options than the others.
- spaetzleesser 4y agoA CTO often will be the referee for making big technical decisions. If that CTO doesn’t have a good bullshit detector then bad decisions will be made.
