Would love to be a fly on the wall for a couple of months to see what corporate CxO's actually do.
Surely I could do a mediocre job as a CxO by parroting whatever is hot on Linkedin. Probably wouldn't be a massively successful one, but good enough to survive 2 years and have millions in the bank for that, or get fired and get a golden parachute.
(half) joking - most likely I'm massively trivializing the role.

Software engineers are pushed to their limits (and beyond). Unrealistic expectations are established by Twitter "I shipped an Uber clone in 2 hours with Claude" forcing every developer to crank out PRs, managers are on the look out for any kind of perceived inefficiency in tools like GetDX and Span.
If devs are expected to ship 10x faster (or else!), then they will find a way to ship 10x faster.
