We've barely been coding this past three or four weeks.
We were trying to juggle everything, coding, sales (new customers), developer interest, marketing, funding... it gets to the point that everything is in the air and you're barely able to make progress with anything.
We changed direction this last week, we basically evaluated our progress and realised we need to focus on one thing at a time to really make substantial progress. And that we can't let multiple things creep up on us like that.
Hence, we need to focus on the fund-raising, and once done focus on the hiring, and once done, split the team to focus on the coding and the sales, etc.
Context switching is expensive. People can do it once or twice a day, but not 10 times a day... you just get nothing done.
I'm basically coding in the evenings now, so that I can do the business stuff during the day.
This will stop being so much of an issue when there are more of us and we can delegate, then progress will be constantly made even when we're working on other things.
