He sounds like someone who read a Wired Magazine article and figured that made him an expert.

That company no longer exists

Not surprising if they're putting people like that dumbass in charge. It's just unfortunate that idiots like that end up costing everyone else their jobs too.

What's funny is that this wasn't a small company either. I won't name it because it'll be very easy to find this person, but they landed a leadership position with very little experience - think a few years working as a dev, and maybe one as a manager.

In my eight years working in consultancy, I've seen plenty of examples of this. I could write a book on some of the mental shit I've seen, from workplace wellness app owners trying to bully me online for having a single bug in their app, to finding several GB of fake Katy Perry nudes stored in a production database for a major company. Tech is totally fucked.
