I'd be mad if I was your co-founder too.

Instead of starting a new company could you transition into a new role in your first company that lets you do more coding and building? There may be more to the story than you've said; but from what you've given me to go on, starting a new company without first resolving things at the first seems like a irresponsible and selfish move.

I hired a co-CTO, he is not angry because I'm not doing a good job. But my co-founder expectations was that someday I would quit the inner workings of tech and become an executive. Me too, and I became, now I want to go back.

This is more complex than it seems. Let me try to explain by example: I wanted to be John Carmack and ended up being Larry Ellisson - just way less successful, obviously.

Ah my mistake. I mis-understood

>I opened a new company and I'm trying to build some software that hasn't been built before and hired a co-CTO to help me with my duties.

to mean you hired a co-CTO at the new company. Now it makes more sense, sorry for the confusion.

I think that my comment came out a little too polemic, that's why I removed it.
