For some reason I read "CTO: Technology is cool!". I actually met a CTO of an early startup who convinced the rest of the team to use a cutting edge backend framework that was the latest fad back then (because buzz words), instead of picking a more familiar technology to suit the strengths, knowledge and skill level of the devs they could afford to hire back then. Well. Startup failed after just a few months 🤷
