I didn’t get that impression. The article mentioned reading these emails for 30m a week. Going from there to doing tech support yourself as a CTO is...
It seems to me that a CTO doing tech support either understand something I really don’t, or really fails to understand something I do. Superficially, it sounds like the sort of low-level digging around you get from engineers that got the CTO title but never got comfortable with the transition.

But the attitude displayed in some of the replies is exactly what I'm talking about when I say some people think support is beneath them.
