On: CTO Lunches

[Benjamin_Dobell]

In my case, I'm not even a founder of the company of which I'm CTO, actually I'm not even a director. I was appointed CTO by the board, of which I'm not a member, and the company is profitable.

I suggest you check your attitude.

The person was talking in general. They weren’t talking about you when saying you. They likely had no idea you were a CTO at all. How would they?

The comment "Certainly developers do move into CTO roles (myself included)" seems helpful there.

I wasn't talking about you specifically. The people I'm referring to are self-proclaimed CTOs of companies that don't have funding, nor a board.
