Title: I&#x27;m the tech orientated founder (the other is the business guy), not the best coder but I understand my domain and know my abilities.<p>We brought in a guy as CTO to help us move past problems we were having (feature creep, project management, enterprise level etc.).<p>The guy has a lot of experience as CTO (I had very little, also little as a coder), and he was instrumental in getting us to the point of launch where we were enterprise grade ready (as opposed to hacker ready).<p>Now he is advising me to leave, that I&#x27;m not a good coder, that he wouldn&#x27;t hire me if I wasn&#x27;t already a founder and not what the company needs.<p>I have improved significantly in the last few months from where I was  (generally unstructured development, no tests, poor formatting &#x2F; naming etc., but functional, generally coding to working with others instead of by myself) but he has said that it&#x27;s not enough.<p>We have hired another coder who I get along well with and I have learned from.<p>My question is, does he have a point? Is this something that is common? Has he overstepped the boundaries?<p>EDIT: He&#x27;s not asking me to leave now, since I&#x27;m still desperately needed, but in 3-6 months time after we have raised more funding.
