I'm the CTO of a startup and have been VP of Engineering or CTO of others before that. I like the idea of being a servant and working with people smarter than me. Right now I've got a team of 9 people working for me and most of my day is spent dealing with stuff so that they don't have to deal with those things.
Yesterday I did IT rubbish all day, and right now I'm fighting HP over what looks like poor support of multicast IP in one of their access points. These are things that need to get done and it's more effective if I deal with them, than involving the team. They need to get on with the coding.
I'm very happy to be in this position. But perhaps I'm an odd ball.
