I worked in a company where the author was brought in as fractional CTO and later advisor for a few months. The company was small size (about ~40 developers, total being around 200).
There was hardly any "politics" in the workplace before, but there many instances my manager had to do so, to get the work done. Worst part was he was being appreciated for gaming systems. (I find it worse, I don't know how my manager felt it)
to add, as a fractional CTO, the author was just terrible. Lacked vision, foresight or could offer anything on technology. Just a glorified manager who could smooth talk with management and the investors
thankfully, we got a CTO later, but soon after I left the company for different reasons.
so yeah, I wouldn't take anything seriously about the author. Pretty much a grifter
