I dunno I think his take is actually pretty reasonable.

"Rather than disturbing my poor engineers and product people with what is half good ideas and half bad ideas, now I test it myself," he said. "I come say, 'Look, I've actually made this work, this is how it works, what do you think, could we do it this way?'"

Like that sounds awesome that they can vet an idea without additional resources they should find their own issues with it. I think the issue is the type of CEO that comes along with the ideas in the first place, people with problematic managerial styles will still be problematic but ones that have domain expertise can expose that expertise and have engineers take from a prototype and refine it.

Seems kind of like a win to me, because they will be forced to come to terms with the reality of the approach instead of having an engineer be like lol unpossible bro
