Okay, hear me out. Imagine for a second you walk into a hospital, and the CEO has absolutely no background in healthcare—no medical degree, no experience in patient care, nothing. How would that even make sense? Or think of the CFO of a major bank with no background in finance—what the hell? That would never fly, right?
So why the hell are non-technical people leading technology teams as CIOs and CTOs? I’m talking about the kinds of leaders who don’t know how code works, don’t understand infrastructure, don’t know a thing about software development lifecycles, and yet they sit at the top making major decisions about tech strategy. The irony is that these are the SAME people who will make uninformed decisions, cut critical resources, or push for tech “solutions” that completely ignore the reality of the systems we’re working with.
They act like they’re experts, all while totally oblivious to the complexity of the technology they’re overseeing. And to top it off, they’re so proud of their “strategic thinking,” even though their “brilliant” ideas are often just complete nonsense. This isn’t some fringe issue—I’ve seen it happen across several industries and it’s frustrating as hell.
