@sickburnbro I've worked in established tech companies that were started by engineers and management for the most part were engineering training and worked their way into their roles over years by proving their competence. One company required you work for 7 years for vetting before being put through an 18 month intensive internal program that taught you the inner workings of the company.

Very old fashioned approach today but it worked.

And I've seen it all wrecked twice now when the company matures and people with no technical expertise start getting these roles. And you get blow ups just like this happening because they have real idea how any of it all works.
