Coding Your Dreams into Reality: Lessons from an Engineer turned Entrepreneur w/ ButterCMS Founder & CEO, Jake Lumetta

Engineers make great entrepreneurs. So a startup that has two engineers as its founders must be twice as good, right? Not exactly. 

On this week's episode of Dev Interrupted, we talk to Jake Lumetta, founder & CEO of ButterCMS. A serial entrepreneur, Jake found success (and failure) with numerous startups before striking it big with ButterCMS.

He joins us today to discuss practical advice for engineers-turned-entrepreneurs, like knowing when to step away from the keyboard and handover the codebase, why building a B2B startup is so much easier than building a B2C, and why two engineers founding a company together isn't always a good idea.
