Sometimes I think coding as a CTO is inappropriate; sometimes I think it helps garner a deeper understanding. I go back in forth.
I think the analog for the CEO might be giving up sales, if they were engaged in that early on, which is common.
- jkarneges 12y agoSales is sort of an analog, but really the CEO's goal is to delegate everything, not just the things that he/she would otherwise excel at. In this sense, the CEO even delegates coding. The CTO, on the other hand, ought to retain some skilled role or else risk becoming a middle manager. I'd imagine this goes for most other C-level or VP positions that aren't the CEO, so maybe some role comparisons can be drawn against those (e.g. CTO vs CFO).
