Joel Spolsky stepped down as CEO shortly after the new Code of Conduct was rolled out. I wonder if he saw how little the CoC changed things, and quit because of it. After all, he did say something to the effect of "I don't think I'm the right fit anymore" (not his exact words).
From humble beginnings at an MSP, I've adventured through life as a sysadmin, into an engineer, and finally landed as a developer focused on fixing problems with automation.

You claim to be a CEO, but do you have a board you answer to? Might change your perspective.
As I already said elsewhere in this thread...
...so I'm really not sure what "perspective" you're implying needs changing.
