Question

Do you still code?

Do you still find time to code? Or is your involvement at clearbit 100% focused on running the company now...

Nothing in production (very sadly) but I do code some internal tools [1]. I coded for way to long which resulted in a big delay putting together our product team, which held us back.

Seems like being held back was the downside to you coding for too long. What was the upside? Did it ultimately make you a better leader? Did it build credibility with your team since they saw you “in the trenches” alongside them? Tell us more please! : )

The upside was that we moved incredibly quickly in the short term. It probably took longer in the long-term. Unfortunately, there are not many upsides to a CEO coding.
