I believe your suspicions will be confirmed.

If I run in a circle 100 feet in circumference will I experience a centipedal force?

If you wear cheap trainers while you do it, would it be a centifrugal force?

if the clans join in does it become centrifeudal force?

You would have to, otherwise you can't turn. So you'll lean into the curve a bit and the normal force from the ground will then have a component towards the center of the circle.
|
|

|
|
If you do that around a planted traffic roundabout, then you'll also experience a centripetal force at the same time.

This sounds like circular logic to me.

I've been in a startup for 4.5 years. The company is doing reasonably well, but I can see that, unless it grows quickly soon, there won't be an interest from a technical perspective & I could risk my future career. I run all aspects of the technology platform and manage one other developer (the company is only 5 people). Considering the resources, I think we've done a very good job.
The trouble is, looking at senior technical positions outside (£80k+), they seem to require:
a) Leading a large team, with alot of people management. (I've led teams of 4-5 before, but that was a while ago and isn't that big).
b) Compliance framework buzzwords, like TOGAF, CMMI etc.
c) Being focussed on a specific niche technology (e.g. Kubernetes), which clearly isn't the case , because I handle everything, I'm a generalist.
I can't help but feel that having had full responsibility for a (successful) company's IT strategy & technical direction has some value.
Can I legitimately market myself as a CTO? It's effectively the role I'm performing, but not official and, being very hands on, it's clearly not the role of a CTO in a bigger organization.
Is there somewhere where these sorts of skills are vital?
Do I have to assume all of this was a waste of career and look at building up the more “corporate” skills that people seem to want?
I'd love to know about other people's experience and advice.

You first need to decide whether you want a technical or managerial role, as the two are (in my experience) totally different beasts. I tried being a manager once and hated every minute of it, so was happy to spend my time in purely technical roles.

In another small, hands-on startup? Then yes, a larger company, deffinitely not.
I think a purely managerial role would drive me mad as well! I wouldn't mind a 50/50 split, I quite like some planning & conceptual work. The industry seems quite binary on this sort of thing though.

Well to start with I am not a natural administrator or man-manager, so I found that part of the job difficult, and in many ways tedious. I did not like trying to implement corporate policies which I felt were unfair on certain people. Generally I found almost no aspect of the role that gave me a feeling that I was doing something useful. So as soon as an opportunity came up to get back to a purely technical role I took it, and spent my last years getting paid for doing something I enjoyed, and left the management to people more suited to the job.

Totally understand man. Was just curious. Inquiring minds want to know.

Don't be put off by my experience. If you think the management route is the right way for you then go for it.

No worries. I'm not phased one bit. I actually am a manager. I just like hearing people's thoughts is all.
