- smarx007 8mo agoI thought they also OSSed a pretty solid https://github.com/frappe/helpdesk https://github.com/frappe/helpdesk helpdesk but that was from Frappe, not Zerodha.
- isodev 8mo agoA CTO that codes? Interesting indeed.
- subscribed 8mo agoCTO in my company* remains SME on a several components, commits to several production repositories (and expects the most stringent PR checks), and maintains couple of small tool used by us and the customers. Its not that rare I think. *small fintech with couple of billions in the accounts, not a startup, not a Fortune 500 company
- simonw 8mo agoThat's pretty common in small companies. It's less common in large companies but can happen - you may use the "CTO" title for the founding engineer who still leads code and architecture, then hire someone under a different title (frequently "VP of Engineering") to handle the management / team growing side of the role.
- appplication 8mo agoThat sounds like a reasonable split to me, so much so I’m not sure I’d understand why you’d want the same person handling both code/architecture and management.
