If you’re a CTO who can no longer program, the solution isn’t to use AI to program again; the solution is to hire people who can program. The question at hand is whether AI helps your developers, not whether it helps you. You’re the CTO. It’s not your job to program.

Some of the projects I've been doing are for myself in other businesses, automating processes that were time consuming or... annoying.

Others are for start-ups that are pre-money, pre-revenue where I can build things myself without having to deal with hiring people.

In a larger organization, certainly I'd delegate to other people, but if it's just for me or new unfunded start-ups, this is working out very well.

And it's not that I "can no longer program". I could program, it's just that I don't find the nuts and bolts of it as interesting as I used to and am more focused on functionality, algorithm, and UI.
