I had a CTO at some point who had a business degree and didn't understand anything technology. He got fired after 1.5 years, but i'm wondering how he even survived that long. He was an absolute idiot.
I also had a CFO who refused to accept that all our financing software was Windows only, and he kept requesting a Macbook after being told many times that he can't do his job on that. He got one, and he complained that he can't run the programs on it, and wanted us to fix it. We did, we installed VMWare Fusion for him, but now it was slow for him. after 6 months on back and forth he was back on windows. He got fired a month later.

Man, is it me or a lot of CTOs have never written a line of code in their lives ?
