What percentage of your time do you spend actively writing code or providing technical input into architecture? Going down the business dev/managing path is something I'm interested in, but I can't seem to get away from the hunger for writing code.
Year 1 of Stream I did a ton of dev work, probably 80% of my time. After that fundraising and marketing became more important. Once we started getting enterprise customers I ended up doing a lot of sales.
We recently launched Chat and for the last 6 months or so I got to do quite a bit of dev and product work on that. Perhaps 60% of my time. I really enjoyed doing a bit of dev work, I really like the making/creative aspect of it.

That's excellent to hear! I'm glad you still get to whet your appetite for bit wrangling every now and then :-)
