So wrong, yet so right. I would hire this guy.

Lately, I remember hearing that a new CTO at "well known company" stipulated that he would spend 20% (or some significant percentage) of his time "coding"... since then, I've been unable to find the reference.1) Does anyone here have the reference? 2) What do you think - "Should CTOs Code?"
I would like to find an easy way for "Birds Of a Feather" (in my organization) to talk about their topics of choice.However, a web-site IS NOT the answer.

My language path looked something like: Paper Assembler (hand assembled, hand executed), Basic. APL (on an IBM-5100 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_5100) National Semiconductor SC/MP Machine Code (hand assembled, and entered on hex keypad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Semiconductor_SC/MP), C, C++ (dark days indeed), Scheme (ahh... that's better!), Javascript (hey... not unlike Scheme), Powerpoint (became an "executive"), Perl, Python, Groovy (surprisingly awesome, been meaning to write a "Groovy is an acceptable Lisp" post)
Never done anything meaningful in Java (all the ugly of C++!), Ruby (just haven't had a reason) nor Haskell (but think it's kind of pretty)
Scheme is still my favorite by far since I find it the most beautiful and powerful.
