Hello Jayme!

Your podcasts are really interesting. Thanks for that.
I guess that you have something to share on this topic:
"What should I do when the CTO is a very bad software developer and always submits bad code but loves to code?"
Do you have any thoughts, or is that topic any good for an another video?

Hey Alex!

I'd be weighing a bunch of things in a situation like that, and I've been on a consulting engagement where there were similar dynamics.

But a few primary ones for me would be:

A) If the CTO is open to being coached, am I willing to go through the trouble of building a relationship with them so I can help them be a better developer?

B) If the CTO isn't open to being coached, can I do my job without being bitter if they are making things harder for me that I can't influence?

I'm sure you'll make the right decision for your unique path. That's tough.
