The idea I got was that he had opinions on how it should work, but that he wasn't involved in the actual development. He's actually written recently on it:
"Jeff started working on the code in April 2008, recruited two other programmers to join him (Geoff and Jarrod, who are still here), and the three of them heroically launched what became Stack Overflow in September 2008."
I'm guessing he was running Fog Creek Software, as its CEO.
