I'm doing the CTO thing for a <10 person start-up that is actively building our initial product. I am rapidly and randomly switching from anywhere from 0-80% coding during any given week depending on what my team and the company needs. Probably closer to 20-30% on average.
I come from a history of being an individual contributor (15 years of that) and I would say overall as I've gotten more senior in my positions I've done less coding as a % of my time, but the coding that I have been doing is individually more impactful or sensitive.
The non-coding part of my time has gone more into mentoring, reviewing, design, business discussions & goal setting, policy writing and implementation, team organization & management, and interactions with operations.
I think that about covers it, but feel free to follow up if you have anymore questions.
