Perhaps unsurprisingly, the article doesn't really answer its own question, it's basically "wow a lot sure has changed in the last decade, some of it good and some of it bad".
I think if you apply standard CEO metrics to Altman he did pretty damn well. YC has grown tremendously under his tenure and its reputation is still great, its startups are still making money as investments, and organizations the world over are copying one facet or another of what YC does.

They could have wasted every single investment dollar for the five years and still be worth billions thanks to Dropbox, Stripe, Airbnb, etc.
