He's like every other CEO. Doesn't know anything about the stuff they are selling because it's built by someone else. Actually his product is for people like that. They don't need any skill to make something now. Before at least they had to buy it from us

I heard that Bezos can barely drive a delivery truck, too.
I mean come on, is it really a surprise that the role of CEO is so detached from the actual workings of a company? That's why CEOs can just hop companies without working their way up from the bottom. The role rarely has anything to do with the product or service.
My CEO all up in the codebase but we are a team of 5. I do not envy his many hats.
He Can Barely Code
He can code?
I'm sure he gets the 'vibe'.
Classic Silicon Valley
Sounds like his AI.
I know who is that person they are looking for, Dario, CEO of Anthropic, he can write code and knows AI.
Failing upward at an immense scale. I see this every day at work, the louder and more incompetent just keep on getting promoted. A social experiment would be to just speak whatever chatGPT vomits up loudly and confidently no matter how ignorant.
lmao no shit.
This should be obvious. It would be an exception if these people knew shit about fuck. Instead of just listening to them, you should maybe check what they have personally contributed to anything. What does Altman's github look like?*
They're all talk, with nothing to show. But then again, have you heard what this doorknob has to say? That we should maybe build a dyson sphere around the solar system?
*I want to believe this is his real account
Not defending Altman, but I’ve been a developer for 15 years and that is what my GitHub looks like too because I don’t spend my spare time programming. I wouldn’t trust a surgeon who did surgery at home. I hate this weird idea that all good developers are developing in their spare time.
The point is that he should have done something, not that he should have done it open source on free time. I threw gh there because it's the easiest place to find clues if it exists.
The point is that it’s not a good indicator of what people are capable of or what they have done. For instance all of my college classes used bitbucket instead.
Please stop making me defend this asshole.
Github or bitbucket makes no difference. If someone has something good there, that's easy to find and proves something, no?
Obviously you have to look elsewhere, like his career, if there's nothing public.
The fact that the account is 9 years old (from long before he was famous) points to a potential for this being his real account.
That looks a lot like my github.
I'm not a developer. I also selfhost a forgejo instance. It's not much better.
He's a sales person. Name me one sales person that was good at coding.
Bill Gates back in the 80s maybe?
He was?
He's a finance guy, a confidence man, like Musk. That is the quality prized by society, not the ability to do anything productive.
Does the author not really understand what a CEO is? Don't get me wrong, Sam Altman is a piece of shit - but his coding ability has nothing to do with that.
How much longer until this goes the way of Theranos?
Hopefully not very
He is there to lead not read.
