> Most of us here could easily do the day-to-day work of the CEO of our companies. I'm not so sure about that. When I do a thought exercise and put myself in our CEO's shoes, I think "ok, which decisions do I need to make today to keep the company thriving in the next 3 or 5 or 10 years?" For me personally, I don't really know. You can't just do the same thing because the economy is constantly evolving, but I can't s…

Most of us here could easily do the day-to-day work of the CEO of our companies.

Quite reminiscent of the "Four Seasons Total Landscaping" debacle :)

People I’ve spoken to in DoD strongly disagree with you there.
Perhaps. But they made $1.6 billion in net income in 2025, which, from a business perspective, makes them about $10.6 billion more competent than OpenAI.
See: the crypto argument that it’s successful because number go up when it is almost entirely pump and dumps and money laundering.
I don’t view that as success, but people do.

That was like living out and episode of Arrested Development in real time. I have a hard time recalling it without mentally casting Jeffrey Tambor as Rudy Giuliani.
