People here want "CTOs" to be brave enough to call bullshit on their "CTO-hood" but nobody here is brave enough to call bullshit on the title itself, which is the truer and more important observation.


What's the purity test for being a "real" CTO?


Like I keep saying, I don't think there's any such thing. The title by itself has the same kind of meaning as "employee of the month".
