This matches my experience exactly. I was offered multiple CTO positions in my late teens - and I took one, but I was woefully under qualified and it caused a degree of burnout I still haven't fully recovered from a decade later. Steering people early in their careers into underpaid overworked founder positions at poorly led companies can sometimes be hugely destructive. To the people at YC leading this initiative - have you ever matched a CEO with zero management experience to a newer engineer, and have you ever matched a CTO with zero professional engineering experience to a newer CEO?
