he doesn't need to be smart, if you are building something yourself, then you should be smart about that stuff, but if you are managing people to build, then it is enough if you can manage the execution well (including hiring, funding and everything else)

If you are going to decide "wait, the architecture is all wrong" after a brief glance, you better also have technical chops.
- indolering 4y agoBeing a good manager doesn't give you license to be an asshole, at least not to this raging degree. He fired half of Twitters employees and is trashing their work with technically incorrect hot-takes that he posts in public. Then he fires anyone who dares to correct his bullshit? That's someone who has been rich for WAY too long.
