Giving up my CTO Position in a start up last year. I was 31 and responsible for 13 developer. I did not wrote code anymore. I have went to a bigger company now and working as a "normal" developer in a small agile team. I think if you want to work your whole life as an engineer in (web) tech you can't stop coding with 30. I mean, in 10 years i would still be a CTO who wrote his last code 10 years ago. That sounds awful to me. Also i have now a 40h week and more time for my family.
