And if I can keep my hours of sales and other meetings down means I can still spend a significant amount of time on coding and ops. The hard part I find is not making myself a bottleneck on either the business or tech side because of me working on the other. It’s definitely a balance.

That's been the hardest part for me as well. Time is truly the only zero-sum, finite resource in life.

Often, time spent coding is often time spent not running/growing the company (in my role).
