> You point me to when Huffman sold 20% of his shares, if we're comparing CEOs. no, we're comparing executives. you brought up karp in response to a comment about reddit's CTO and COO offloading a bunch of shares after the company dropped 50-60%.

captainstrange94

You point me to when Huffman sold 20% of his shares, if we're comparing CEOs. The CTO you mention had like 40k shares, which is not a lot to begin with. Huffman has over 500k shares, with a routine planned sales of 18k monthly. Karp on the other hand sold 500k shares last month, 350k shares in Nov 2025, etc.

> Holy god RDDT. what an absolute disastrous crash over no news. just because you didn't see the news doesn't mean there is no news. the CTO sold 20% of his reddit shares (and the COO sold 3%). large insider sales aren't exactly a good omen.

> If I had more dry powder, now would be the day I would double down on RDDT. their executives would be me than happy to sell it to you. their COO and CTO unloaded a bunch of shares in the last few weeks.

The friction between traditional wealth management and digital assets usually stems from a fundamental infrastructure clash. Most legacy systems are hardwired for T+2 settlement cycles and centralized custody, making blockchain integration a significant architectural hurdle for any CTO. It is rarely a lack of will; rather, it is the technical debt of maintaining aging environments that simply weren't built for distributed ledgers. Bridging this gap requires moving from monolithic setups toward a more modular architecture. By implementing secure middleware to unify data flows, firms can report on decentralized holdings alongside traditional equities without compromising compliance. We are already seeing resilient firms adopt hybrid models where smart contract logic automates the heavy lifting of rebalancing and inheritance. The traditional fee-only model must evolve to stay relevant. The next generation of investors expects sophisticated tax strategies and unified reporting, regardless of the asset class. Advisors do not need to be crypto experts, but they do need a reliable technical foundation that treats digital assets with the same institutional rigor as a standard brokerage account to mitigate long-term planning risks.

My CEO, CTO and CFO are singing in the same tune that AI has made them so much more efficient (without shipping a single new feature to the customers) it's pathetic and they're insufferable. They'll keep tooting the same horn till either all of us work 24x7 prompting the Claude megalord or we're laid off.

Atreides---

I was 50-50 on it happening until yesterday. Then two things happened: 1) They announced earnings for Monday, filing their 10-K on time for the first time in three years. 2) The CEO and CTO had a couple of SEC form 4 filings later that evening for performance based compensation. Small amount all things considered (~$230k in shares between them). But exactly the kind of thing you'd see for the close of a transaction like this one. At any rate. Call it JV or IP licensing or big off take agreement. Something is happening with Oshkosh, 99% sure. The other 1% chance is that I can't rule out the entire stock market dying before market close, but - we've all got bigger worries in that case.

And that’s just the war. Here’s what INDA bulls don’t want to talk about: India’s crown jewel — IT outsourcing — is getting eaten alive by AI, and the war is accelerating the timeline. India’s tech services sector is 29% of INDA’s weighting through financials and IT combined. Infosys, Wipro, TCS, HCL — these are glorified body shops that bill $50-80/hr for work that Claude and GPT are starting to do for pennies. Every Fortune 500 CTO who was already quietly running AI pilots just got handed a $100/barrel reason to slash their outsourcing budgets. When your CFO is screaming about energy costs and margin compression, the first thing that gets cut is the $200M Infosys contract, not the $2M AI subscription. The numbers are already showing up. Indian IT hiring has been declining for six straight quarters. TCS reported zero net hiring last quarter. Cognizant is cutting 3,500. Wipro guided down. The sector that was supposed to make India the next economic superpower is running straight into the buzzsaw of AI replacement at the exact moment that oil is blowing up India’s current account. And it gets worse. India’s entire economic narrative — young demographics, digital transformation, services economy leadership — is predicated on being the world’s back office. AI doesn’t need a back office. Every AI model that gets 1% better is another 10,000 Indian IT jobs that don’t get created. McKinsey estimated 5 million Indian tech jobs at risk by 2028. That was BEFORE the current generation of coding agents shipped. So you’ve got: ∙ Oil import bill exploding (Hormuz closed, Russian oil now $95 not $50) ∙ Rupee in freefall against the dollar ∙ Record foreign institutional outflows ∙ SEBI regulatory tightening April 1 ∙ Russian waiver expiring April 4 ∙ IT outsourcing — the growth engine — being disrupted by AI ∙ Six quarters of declining tech hiring ∙ CTA/MTP signals at -100/-100 (double max short) The war is the catalyst. AI is the structural story nobody’s pricing. Together they’re a vise grip on the Indian economy from both sides — cyclical destruction of the energy-dependent present AND secular destruction of the services-dependent future. India at $49 isn’t cheap. It’s a value trap with a $100/barrel oil bill and an AI extinction event hitting its only competitive advantage simultaneously. Sep puts. Not financial advice. I eat crayons for breakfast.

Is Graphene's Future in Products or Powder? Meet "Baby HydroGraph $HG $HGRAF" – potential multi-bagger $GMG $GMGMF. As always this is a high risk, high reward play. Invest at your own discretion. This is not financial advice. In the rapidly evolving world of advanced materials, graphene stands out as a transformative substance with unparalleled strength, conductivity, and versatility. Traditionally derived from graphite through energy-intensive processes, graphene production has long been tied to mining dependencies and environmental concerns.  However, two innovative companies have both  pioneered methods to manufacture high-purity graphene without relying on graphite, using sustainable, synthetic processes involving hydrocarbon gases.  [HydroGraph Clean Power Inc.](https://hydrograph.com) and  [Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd](https://graphenemg.com)  This breakthrough positions them at the forefront of a market projected to reach billions, driven by applications in coatings, lubricants, composites and batteries. HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (ticker: HG.CN on the Canadian Securities Exchange; HGRAF on OTCQB) boasts a market capitalization of approximately **CAD 3.45 Billion**, based on a share price of about CAD 9.97, with roughly 346 million outstanding shares, reflecting strong investor confidence in its patented detonation synthesis technology. In contrast, Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (ticker: GMG.V on the TSX Venture Exchange; GMGMF on OTCQX) has a more modest market cap of around **CAD 277 Million**, based on a share price of about CAD 2.35, with roughly 118 million outstanding shares. Despite the disparity, GMG's undervaluation presents intriguing upside potential. If GMG's share price were to rise 15 times from current levels, its market cap could climb to over CAD 4 billion, potentially overtaking HydroGraph and signaling a significant re-rating as its commercial traction accelerates. HydroGraph has garnered notable support from industry figures like Jay Taylor and Kevin Bambrough, who have played key roles in drawing market attention to the company's innovative approach. Their endorsements highlight HydroGraph's potential to disrupt traditional graphene supply chains. HydroGraph's strategy centers on producing raw, high-purity graphene in bulk and selling it by the ton to customers for integration into their own products. The company has highlighted relationships with over 50 potential clients across 20 applications, including collaborations with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) for advanced materials development.  However, despite these promising ties, HydroGraph has yet to record significant sales, with annual revenue at just CAD 43,000 in fiscal 2025. Large-scale manufacturing is ramping up, but full commercial production has not fully commenced. HydroGraph's leadership envisions scaling to sell thousands of tons annually at prices around $250,000 per ton, potentially generating billions in revenue, though manufacturing expansion—requiring EPA notification under TSCA—has only recently been cleared and is yet to start in earnest. HydroGraph believes it holds a competitive advantage through its top-quality fractal graphene, featuring 99.8% carbon purity with 100% sp2 bonding and a pristine crystalline lattice, free from major defects. This high purity and quality have been independently verified, meeting standards set by the Graphene Council and third-party inspections, ensuring consistency and reliability for demanding applications. GMG, while also manufacturing graphene via a proprietary plasma process from methane, adopts a vertically integrated approach: it uses its graphene internally to develop and sell end-user products. This strategy offers several advantages. By controlling the entire value chain, GMG can ensure product quality, customize solutions for specific markets, and capture higher margins through direct sales. It reduces dependency on third-party adoption, accelerates time-to-market, and mitigates risks associated with raw material commoditization.  Moreover, integrating graphene into proprietary products like coatings and lubricants allows GMG to demonstrate tangible benefits, building customer trust and loyalty more effectively than selling bulk material alone. GMG's graphene, whilst not verified through the same independent certifications as HydroGraph's, has proven its high quality through real-world performance in their products, as evidenced by third-party tested energy savings, efficiency improvements, and the company's ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality management systems. To illustrate, GMG's THERMAL-XR® coating enhances heat transfer in HVAC systems, leading to energy savings of 10-30%. In practical terms, this could translate to thousands in annual electricity cost reductions for large-scale users like data centers and air-conditioning. Similarly, G® LUBRICANT, a graphene-enhanced additive, reduces engine friction, yielding up to 10% fuel savings—equating to roughly $10 in fuel costs saved for every $1 spent on the product in fuel. GMG's partnership with Tickford Racing to trial their G® LUBRICANT in high-stakes Supercars competitions underscores the company's confidence in the graphene-enhanced additive's potential to deliver measurable performance gains and fuel savings in extreme operational environments. These quantifiable gains underscore GMG's edge in delivering real-world value. A key area of innovation for GMG is in graphene-enhanced batteries. The company has unveiled its Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery, which fully charges in 6 minutes, offering advantages such as energy density over 100 Wh/kg after 1 hour of charging, long cycle life up to 10,000 cycles, safety without lithium, and lower thermal runaway risk, potentially eliminating the need for thermal management systems.  Bob Galyen, GMG Non-Executive Director, and previously Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of CATL (Widely known as the largrst lithium ion battery manufacturer in the world) commented:  >"In my nearly five decades in the battery  industry I have rarely seen a technology with the disruptive potential of GMG’s next-generation graphene aluminium-ion battery. With the possibility of charging from empty to full in around six minutes, this chemistry fundamentally changes how designers can think about electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and stationary storage." GMG's momentum is further bolstered by contracts with world-leading customers, including Rio Tinto, world leading miner for battery development and Bosch for manufacturing support. The company is also advancing regulatory milestones, with U.S. EPA approval conditions accepted for THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE in December 2025. Once fully signed, this paves the way for shipments to distributor Nu-Calgon, enabling distribution across the U.S. for HVAC applications in data centers for cooling and air-conditioning systems. Indeed, GMG's partnership with Beijer Ref, a world-leading wholesaler in refrigeration and air conditioning with operations spanning 45 countries, enables the distribution of THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE coating as an optional upgrade on Beijer Ref and Kirby-branded evaporator coils across 73 Australian locations, underscoring the growing adoption of graphene-enhanced solutions in the global HVAC-R market. Additionally, GMG is planning a strategic expansion into the U.S., including more production facilities there, and pursuing an up-listing to a major exchange like Nasdaq or NYSE to enhance liquidity and visibility. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, GMG reported revenue of A$237,672, a decrease from the prior year's A$294,859. However, GMG is expecting to achieve self-sustaining revenue as it scales production and expands sales, with analysts forecasting significant growth, including a projected CAGR of over 600% in the next three years. This aggressive forecast reflects expectations for rapid scaling in graphene production and product commercialization. To support this, GMG is actively recruiting and expanding its worldwide sales force, maturing its sales and marketing teams, and adding new distributors in Asia, Europe, and North America. As GMG scales its operations—with a new Gen 2.0 graphene plant set for mid-2026—and capitalizes on these partnerships, the company appears primed for a re-rating. Its focus on revenue-generating products, combined with a lower market cap relative to peers, suggests substantial growth potential. Investors eyeing the graphene space may find GMG's "Baby HydroGraph" status an opportunity to bet on a rising contender in this high-stakes materials revolution.

Part of the reason they've been so successful lately is their full throated adoption of AI. We hear a lot about how companies find AI useless or undercooked but Walmart has been huge beneficiary and a posterchild for integration. Apparently they're not only working with chat GPT to have their stuff advertised but they're also using in at corporate on the [supply side ](https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/4-walmart-supply-chain-ai-uses/760891/)and to automate procurement. CTO recently said 40% of their code is also being written by AI which is saving them a lot too.

Larry Ellison CTO and ceo of oracle clay magouryk/Mike Sicilia(yes seems they have 2 per their website). None of those 3 are MBAs.

botella36

The company I worked for were not happy with Oracle licenses, something related to licensing per cpu core. The CTO requested departments to transition to other databases. Unfortunately some departments needed very many years to switch. This was 10+ years ago.

Acceptable-Offer-518

That’s complete horse shit. I work as a software engineering manager and after a push from our CTO I was able to cut the engineering team from 78 people to just 11. I run multiple Claude agents with my own RAC DB along with Claude skills and plugins. I also have co-pilot in my pipelines that auto reviews all my code. We are also using AMP to give us a mixture of experts to cover the gaps from the other 2 tools. We are working better with 11 people and our AI tools than we did from 80.

avaslash

CTO usually refers to chief technology officer. I suppose I should have assumed it was "tasting" in the context of wendys.

avaslash

They're only paying their CTO of a major corporation $100k? That's insane for what is a $300,000 - $450,000 position. Explains why their app is so shit.

Net Profit Margin of -87%. Between October 2025 and January 2026, C-suite executives and directors (including the CTO) offloaded hundreds of thousands of shares at prices between $1.03 and $2.01. The insiders got out before the stock dumped under $1.00.

minifigureitout

Started using Claude two days ago for the fist time.. 🤯 The little project I had of combing spreadsheets turned into a full blown html app that is far superior than anything I’ve professionally produced, ever. CTO caught wind, reviewed the work, and I’m getting dedicated servers to spin this into a full internal tool on Monday. This shits insane and we’re only at stage 1.5.

Whatdosheepdreamof

It just takes 1 CTO, CEO and board to start the dominos.

wifestalksthisuser

I see it because I snort tokens, but normal people don't. I've worked in SaaS sales for a long time and 90% of the buyers like to wank around at these big marketing events and talk about AI but what they end up doing is the most mundane shit possible because believe it or not, the CTO and everyone below them can't in fact handle that shit. Most enterprises - the ones who are creating 80%+ of SaaS revenue - are working with 2014 technology. People who are in charge of responsibly purchasing software for their companies are going to SaaS events and wearing Salesforce T Shirts dude

Whatdosheepdreamof

I'm the CEO of a company, I find out that somebody else brought the processes back in house. What the fuck do I have a CTO for if they can't handle an extra project that is going to save SaaS line items. In fact, what the fuck am I doing in the job if I don't ask the question. What is the board of directors doing if they don't see other companies develop E2E systems and reducing reliance on SaaS? How can you not see what is about to happen.

Whatdosheepdreamof

CEO to CTO> Can you bring this in house?

breadbedman

Lots of reasons. But primarily when you’re a large company and you’re the CIO or CTO you want to buy a proven, stable, and secure platform to cover your ass. There are more reasons to buy the “safe choice” than to save a few bucks and go with a smaller competitor or open source or roll-your-own-with-AI alternative. Nobody ever got fired for buying Salesforce or Atlassian or Microsoft. Because it was the default play.

JohnPaulDavyJones

Tbh it probably would have been a job creator after the AI tools wrecked our processing cycle. Our CTO having to step in there is kind of because of one weird feature of our leadership structure: we’ve got an EVP leading our PM group, and she’s also the exec sponsor for our AI trialing team. The PM group shouldn’t have an EVP leader, but she’s there and she buys that group a weird amount of power to swing around for such a small group. She’s in line to be a C-level, but they needed somewhere to put her to wait after the last reorg, so that’s how we got this. They mean well, but they’ve got a bad tendency toward groupthink and not enough technical awareness to know what is and isn’t off-limits. It’s not common, but this wasn’t the first time they’ve had a really terrible idea and already gotten some momentum behind it by the time it reaches us in the infrastructure team. Our whole DE/infra org is led by a VP, so he has to go to the CTO whenever the PM team and their EVP get rolling.

PressureDry1111

for real. it strikes me that few most people are focusing on techi while completely forgetting this crucial human dynamics. " no bank CTO is going to look at a blog post from anthropic and go "yeah let's have the AI rewrite our entire transaction processing system, what could go wrong." --> so true, let's jeopardize a big salary and stock options plan to chase the latest tech trend.

sciencewarrior

Claude isn't making new software. It is translating software from Cobol to Java. LLMs are actually very good at translating. Large companies have decades of legacy code in Cobol. It costs a fortune to run it on IBM hardware, and it's almost impossible to find good developers. Projects to convert or rewrite that code used to take years, longer than the average CTO tenure. Now we're talking months. It doesn't matter who you are, "successfully migrated all legacy systems from mainframe, reducing operating costs in 90%" will look great on your resume.

stockist420

Yeah good call, I was just checking last year and saw your comment so perfect timing. Almost the exact same thing happened Feb 19-21 2025. Same people, same window. CEO sold \~$1.95M, CTO \~$375K, CFO \~$670K, CDO \~$660K, CLO \~$624K. Even Fritz Prinz the co-founder sold $67K. Then another round in early March. So this is almost certainly must be tied to an annual RSU vesting schedule, mid February every year, with 10b5-1 plans set up to auto sell on vest to cover taxes. The bulk selling isn't discretionary. That said two things still stand out to me. One, nobody has cancelled their 10b5-1 plan which is what you'd expect if something was brewing. And two, Straubel's Dec and Jan sells are on a completely different cadence from the vesting schedule. Those are his own separate planned sales and he's been doing them monthly at lower and lower prices.

Material-Macaroon298

No one ever gets fired for hiring IBM to maintain and support their legacy systems though. The procurement officer and CTO might get fired for hiring Claude to do it.

Some-Jellyfish-7412

the fact that a single CTO was the barrier between workers and AI job loss sounds more scary to me then nice to see but you're the expert on this one

slightlyslappy

Yeah none of cobol or your machines are special sorry. Your CTO is probably trying to save his own job for a bit

ifdisdendat

Mainframe is more than COBOL. It’s a crazy ass system that lets you change a CPU while running with no downtime. Vmware was supposed to kill it, The Cloud was supposed to kill it, distributed computing was supposed to kill it. The reality is that no CTO will risk their careers trying to replace a system that runs millions of transactions (like chase ATMs backend) with some servers running python code generated by a LLM - as good as it is. People forget about the constraints of production. You still need human to vouch for your code and take responsibility. Anyways talk is cheap but real world production is a a b****.

JohnPaulDavyJones

Not to mention buying the newest Z-series machines. We spent $22mm on those cabs in 2024 just so they can run our overnight transaction batch processing. We have PMs who wanted to see what we could have AI do with that, and our CTO gave them the “Get the fuck away from our core processes”. So nice to see.

azjunglist05

This. Who gives a fuck what CTOs think. Tell me what the CEOs and CFOs think. Once these things can actually replace and do the work of an FTE software engineer they will start forcing the CTO to layoff their workers

Adventurous_Tell6684

That’s right, when the mission critical system goes down for days losing billions in revenue the CTO can rest assured knowing they saved some costs using commodity servers.

CanAlwaysBeBetter

The big mainframe consumers have all been trying to get off mainframes for 10 years. Most have made progress and peeled off a decent chunk of workloads to more modern systems but I haven't seen a single one actually get the core software out of the Z ecosystem. Meanwhile I can think of at least one CTO who got fired after years and millions of dollars went into trying and failing. Mainframes/Z are whole hardware/software ecosystem with performance and redundancy levels that I think it's hard to appreciate if you haven't seen yourself in action (and I've only touched it a few times directly).  AI getting trained on writing COBOL if anything helps entrench that ecosystem which is already limited in terms of available talent. IBMs pivot to software could be under threat but until AI can build some commodity-hardware cloud based system from scratch with the same availability guarantees IBM provides I don't see COBOL vibe coding impacting them.

izahariev96

I hope you're right about no bank CTO is going to do that but looking at how they all behave like sheep I'm worried they might do it.

No-Understanding2406

i've noticed people have been predicting COBOL's death since before most of this sub was born. the Y2K crisis was supposed to kill it. java was supposed to kill it. cloud migration was supposed to kill it. now an AI chatbot is supposed to kill it. COBOL isn't alive because nobody has a better option. it's alive because migrating mission-critical banking infrastructure is the kind of project where "move fast and break things" means ATMs stop working and your CFO has a cardiac event. no bank CTO is going to look at a blog post from anthropic and go "yeah let's have the AI rewrite our entire transaction processing system, what could go wrong." -13% on a blog post is wild. IBM has real problems but this ain't one of them.

jcdc-flo

Even a couple calls around the industry to see if the headlines bear fruit. If you're reading about AI disrupting software, maybe call some CTO's to see how budget allocation is changing.

Tiruin

Until it hits the bottom-line. Once the CEO tells the CTO they're losing contracts and asks why services keep going down, frustration rises and they might start changing to other alternatives. It won't start with a full migration, not for most cases, but it starts with making small changes.

Emotional-Power-7242

If I were French I would buy the MSCI World ETF, and use the tax advantaged accounts as much as possible, not using the CTO until the tax advantaged accounts were full. Which is the same thing I do in America. We have also been talking about an AI bubble and possible S&P 500 crash. But we're always talking about a market crash. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. You're not going to be able to guess when. As long as you're young and keep your job and keep putting money in then a crash is not a big deal anyway. And if you're old you should buy some fonds euros so a crash doesn't wipe you out.

No_Razzmatazz854

• The CTO (Dr. Ho Joon Lee) actually has a PhD in Biochemistry from Cambridge University and founded GLAAM (the original LED glass company). He’s a materials scientist, not a makeup guy. • The comms role is relatively new and secondary — the key people driving the mining pivot are Garrabrant (Jaguar real-estate background), Patrick Imeson (25+ years in Montana mining), and the recently added Tom Brodmerkel (Naval Academy grad with mining/oil & gas executive experience). On the REE side — you’re 100% right. The NR only says “potential” with zero grades, mineralization style, or metallurgy details. That’s exactly why I’m waiting for the SK-1300 filing (expected post-close). Same for the gold/silver/zinc — no PEA or feasibility study yet, which is a valid red flag at this stage. They’ve produced ~$4.85B historically, so the remaining deposit is what it is (lower grade, higher strip in parts), and we need real economics before anyone should go all-in. I’m in the same boat as you — I want to see: • Signed definitive agreement • Full SK-1300 with updated reserves + economic numbers (NPV, IRR, capex, etc.) • A credible mining-heavy team addition (they’ve started with Brodmerkel, but more experienced operators would help)

canadian_boi

Help me out here - Their CTO is a makeup specialist and their comms guy worked retail clothing and film festivals.....they need to get their team together before I'd consider this. From their NR, "rare earth potential" - no mention of grades, mineralization style (can they even process it, or is it like almost every other REE play?) Need to see an updated PEA at least....preferably a Feasability study with economic numbers on what an NPV on the gold/silver/zinc/copper production will look like. They've yanked over 6 billion in minreals out already, so what's left is there for a reason...lower grade, higher stripping ratios....blah blah blah....let's see some proposed financials at a minimum, preferably by a backed team of experienced, tenured mining professions. If you want REEs, look at NTMC. Best metallurgy out there and should be a decent resource. Strong team of geos and engineers running it.

You nailed the compliance angle. No CTO is risking their career on a vibe coded app when the auditors show up. The moat isn't the code anymore; it's the SLA and the indemnity clause.

ItsOkILoveYouMYbb

> Enterprises won't vibe code their tech stack. They're certainly trying lol. A CTO with an engineering background doesn't want it but the rest of the idiots do.

SamLeCoyote_Fix_1

True, the AI data-licensing is a solid short-term tailwind for the valuation. But the audit shows a **9.3% dilution rate** and the **CTO selling at $149**, which suggests the insiders might be less optimistic about that 'milking' phase than retail is. Data deals don't matter much if the share structure is being hollowed out from the inside.

SamLeCoyote_Fix_1

True, but cluster buying from multiple directors after a 40% drop usually signals a valuation floor, regardless of the CTO's personal tax selling.

From a tech stand point, I think quantum is an overhyped term and QC will have only small niche applications in cryptography. It may speed up crypto mining.

nadav183

Lol my CTO came to us today and said the token costs are too high and we need to switch to a cheaper service. Nobody even takes productivity into account let alone actually measures it. Our most productive devs are the ones who barely use AI at all, sure we use auto complete, it's helpful and mostly close enough that it's quicker to delete the wrong stuff than write the correct stuff from scratch, if you used an agent you probably wasted HOURS of both your own time and the dev that needs to review that code (and write several dozen comments for you to fix and waste even more time). It's absurd and you can feel that it's being pushed by foreign interests and not productivity. I will gladly make the claim that 0 devs have been fired because they were made irrelevant by AI. Not from a significant rise in productivity and certainly not by getting replaced by AI agents. They were fired for the old fashioned reasons, but saying they were replaced by AI makes it sound like no productivity was lost so not only did the company cut costs it did not lose any value so investors are happy. And who TF cares if it's true?

I had this epiphany recently. Just wait until you try using Slackbot AI. If you use Slack for internal enterprise communication, it has all the knowledge and context it needs. It integrates with so many other apps like Gmail and google drive. It saves me hours a week of planning, structuring, project managing, summarizing, complex searching etc. It doesn’t yet know what to do, to OP’s point, it still needs a director, but it does everything I tell it to do better and much quicker than I can. I then realized it’s just a matter of time before these AIs start listening to our conversations and Slack huddles and suddenly the CTO will have all company knowledge at their fingertips, making us completely redundant. Do I trust that these AIs actually have boundaries and don’t spy on us? I don’t. I think they’re collecting all our knowledge and subject matter expertise and making us useless. The only white collar work left will be breaking down processes and silos between systems or teaching the AI how to do it all. I fear entry level jobs are at the biggest most immediate risk, but white collar work is about to look for very different in the next 10 years. It’s just a matter of time before people catch on to how transformative this is. To hedge my risks, I’m saving and investing like crazy and thinking about reskilling in a trade or healthcare, but for now, I’m embracing the AI and learning to position myself as someone more productive and on the ball because I leverage it to me advantage. That’s what companies want to see now.

We're barely scratching the surface with what Claude or other systems can do, they will be writing their own code and improving things on their own. So all you have to do as a company CTO or CIO is grab a couple of your smart guys, give them access to highest Claude tier and tell it to either copy what that other SaaS is doing or even better, tell it to make things much more efficient, much more easier to use, whatever, and let it do the work. It's really that simple, you just saved your company $10 million in annual licensing fees. There will be a whole new industry that spawns from one smart guy who will build whatever you want on a weekend. Let it run a week on your company's system and improve itself. Right now, it's not clear which companies are most vulnerable so the entire sector is being punished. I think few companies will survive, 90% will not.

>CTO Srini Venkatesan is the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of PayPal Holdings, Inc., appointed in June 2024 to lead technology, AI, and engineering across the company. Unsurprising.

Ok-Wish-2640

I worked there for 15 years and was laid off last summer. I know the ins and outs of the company and how it is a complete disaster, especially their incompetency in tech advances. They have no idea what they are doing when it comes to implementing AI yet are so focused on making it work they have made some of the dumbest decisions I saw in my time there. That boils down to their CTO being an idiot and being so far removed from what needs to happen to make the company viable again. If that's even possible. Alex Chriss is a blowhard that is in way over his head.

In the initial model, the rule stipulated blocking only the first receiving account, which, in practice, limited the effectiveness of the mechanism. “In practice, however, fraudsters transferred the amount almost immediately to other accounts, leaving the initial account ‘empty’ and frustrating reimbursement,” explains Danilo Porto, CTO of QI Tech. MED 2.0 expands this scope by allowing the tracking of money flows across multiple transfers, even when funds are spread across several successive accounts, a common practice in fraud schemes. "Now, it's not enough to just look at the first account that received the money; the system is required to track the chain of paths the money took, even if it was transferred to several successive accounts."

Could there be any truth on the idea that —yes it’s an inconsequential amount for Tim the CTO—and reasons that selling will wick out weak, speculative, and flighty shareholders? And the true “owners” will stay put or add to their holdings??

Comfortable_Yam_9391

My idiot CTO loves servicenow, made us migrate a ton of shit over to it, I’m assuming it’s the same across rest of f500. As a developer I hate it, and am glad my job does not touch it, but selling it to the executives is the part that matters, and it seems in my subjective experience that they are EXTREMELY good at that

HunterOfIgnominy

She was the CTO.

Shit-throwing-monkey

So I guess it's a positive thing that their CTO has sold nearly 1/2 of his holdings for $14M in the last 7 months? https://preview.redd.it/iky3mjfhsegg1.png?width=1870&format=png&auto=webp&s=9c71632cf4b0ec10bb7f2b97e06adf13da554346

There have been rumors of acquisition & it may very well happen. You may have seen that movement the past few days where it jumped nicely but then falls back I personally don't have a position at the moment but think something is brewing. They also have a new CTO which will be interesting to watch. In my opinion they can still bounce back

The CTO of DBS prides himself on dragging people into the office on Saturdays Looks like IT security are going to be working Sunday too

They definitely exist but I know they're the minority. I don't think it would surprise me lol. My boss is one of those people. Well, my former boss. Was CTO of several companies, made tons of money, just kept it in cash.

It shows in SEC filings. Jennifer Wong COO sold about 19%, and I believe she sold another portion last Tuesday too. Christopher Slowe (CTO) sold 7.71%

I'm not interested in investing but I'll be your CTO or some shit for a cut of the ~~Sca~~company , I know the buzzwords that cause angel investors panties to melt.

Based on solid fundamentals and research on leadership, I believe the company will be able to re-rate itself this year! It's in times of doubt that the 10 baggers are found. CEO founded a multibillion dollar telecom company, and its board consists of multiple generals and admirals, highly rare for a 300 million dollar company. Its CTO was also head of research of BAE systems for 7 years before becoming CTO.

DayThen6150

Entirely true. It has very little direct impact. Much like the early internet had very little direct impact and now it drives the majority of sales. AI is in its infancy however long overdue digital and tech overhauls are being implemented due to its empowerment of CTO budgets. This is especially true at public companies who have to show some AI spend on a conference call or risk being downgraded by analysts. These overhauls will create a demand for AI developed products long term. Not all AI companies will be winners.

thetaFAANG

He’s wrong ya know Basically here’s what happened: yes, the CTO gets big budgets now and a by product of that was needing to show something. CTO and PMs rushed engineers to make slop. Everyone sees the changes happening fast and thinks they need to deliver the AI version of someone else’s job just to keep their job. Thats the stuff with unrefined output. Nobody reads it or scrutinizes the output, it just looks good. Months later they have the affected party look at it and realizes its slop and not doing the job reliably well. But this is just a skill issue. The AI is fully capable of inserting itself into workflows that have been untouched by and exempt from the industrial revolution. It already is happening division by division. Just in a more meticulous and unrushed sane way.

Cheap-Sparrow

Am chip company employee. Cuda good because gpu programming is cuda. LLM trained in gpu use cuda. LLM trained on Nvidia fast because networking. TPU good because Google invest many eng many money make LLM trainable on tpu. Google networking good too. Train LLM on AMD? Not at scale. Networking bad. Data interconnect bad. Cuda equivalent bad. AMD shitters TPU as good as GPU? Idk. Matters? No. Google prove capability. If CTO of Regards Inc. sign $$$ to use tpu, you use tpu. Google manage TPU in GCP so less hassle.

Everyone posting their big gains but nobody here can do what Mira Murati did This bish was literally the CTO of openai with 0 experience as an engineer and 0 qualifications in ai research and then somehow convinced investors to give her billions to start an AI company, which to nobody's surprise has already failed Y'all will never be on her level, this is the best "failing up" story I've ever seen

I understand zuck but how is the CTO of META not fired

Due-Freedom-5968

Yeah pretty much - especially when you consider most of that type of business aren’t spending capital on GPUs etc, at worst they’re just renting a few more boxes from Google or AWS. The most exposure they’ll have to AI is gonna be a few random acquisitions. If you then flip it and think that every CTO has told their teams to go all in on AI and the easier way to do that it through other enterprise software companies then their prospect remain pretty decent. That said - Salesforce hasn’t done much useful with AI yet that I can see, Atlassian seems to be doing better purely because of the kind of data it holds as an happy accident from the products it has. Random blip, not the first, won’t be the last. The “AI Bubble“ ain’t popped yet.

Dmoan

Well John Carmack one of founders of ID software (Doom etc), went to oculus as CTO and once Meta bought them it went to hell according to him.  Meta managers took over Metaverse/Oculus and kicked aside those with gaming exp including people like Carmack. He expressed concerns about the engine (one that looks like shit) while they wasted hundreds of hours of man hours obsessing about colors of UI buttons and how meta verse shop should function . He left the company in disgust..

I addressed BIAL previously. It's private, can't bet on it. Scienfically : The compound BIA 28-6156 (pariceract) was essentially a precursor to the Gain technology; it is an allosteric activator, not a folding chaperone. The BIAL compound (previously LTI-291) showed no change in GluCer. Biomarker work included glycosphingolipids in PBMCs/plasma/CSF; a **transient intracellular GluCer increase in PBMCs** was observed but not explained ([A Phase 1B Trial in GBA1-Associated Parkinson's Disease of BIA-28-6156, a Glucocerebrosidase Activator - PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37195859/)). Peter Landsbury was involved as CTO in development of this LTI-291 before BIAL acquired it and he's now a consultant for Gain, one of the KOLs. BIAL study last patient to be treated scheduled April 2026. Positive or negative results will be misinterpreted by the market because of confusion about why these are different drugs.

Totally agree. The new CTO they got from Amazon was the guy that ‘championed’ all the expensive and unsuccessful tech solutions for the palm scanning payment system and just walkout checkout systems you see in depressing Wholefoods and empty Amazon Fresh stores. I’m buying puts on this guy.

> QS can overcome the scalability challenges, the product will be far superior to what Factorial can produce in terms of density, range, and charge time I'm double-checking the stats, and they look pretty close to me, with *perhaps* Factorial having the overall better solution (no pun - it's solid state!) as of writing: Energy Density: Factorial claims **375Wh/kg** on the [battery they used in the test with Stellantis](https://www.stellantis.com/en/news/press-releases/2025/april/stellantis-and-factorial-energy-reach-key-milestone-in-solid-state-battery-development), while QS's [published density](https://www.quantumscape.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/QSE-5-B-Sample-Hero-ar16x9-v4-2048x1152.png) is **301 Wh/kg** Charging: QS claims 15 minutes to charge from 10%-80%. Factorial claims 18 minutes to charge from 15% to 90%. Tie? I dunno - these companies are going to cherry pick what makes the cells look best, guess. Cycles: Factorial's saying 600 cycles, but that seems quite low unless I'm reading it wrong. The only thing I can find from QS's CTO says 1000 cycles. Operating Temp: Again going from some [older QS docs](https://www.quantumscape.com/resources/blog/a-discussion-of-quantumscapes-battery-technology-performance-results/), they claim an operational temp down to -30C, which is the same as Factorial's claimed minimum operating temp. A lot of people underestimate how important low-temp operation is for broad-scale market adoption, as onboard thermal management can gobble up a *ton* of range in colder environments.

NewAccount428412

The CTO of my company thinks that. Smart guy too. I guess it shows that you can be smart at one thing and not another.

Not-Reformed

Doctors and surgeons need hard credentials, your analogy adds a layer of what is effectively fraud into the mix that isn't present with what we're comparing it to. Regardless if I was the shareholder I would be looking at the big picture and what the person has provided me as a whole. If I invest at $5 and that executive team gets me to $100 then down to $70 over the course of 20 years I'm not going to go and say "Man if only that CTO went to college for comp sci 30 years ago right guys?" that wouldn't even be a thought on my mind much less something I'd say out loud.

Vonatos__Autista

I wouldn't I'm aware. They don't need it. Except the CTO. All the non-technical CTOs I've had the "pleasure" to work with were an absolute cancer on the organization.

hjablowme919

Currently a CIO with a degree in computer science and an MBA. I’ve been to several technology leadership conferences. You’d be surprised how many people in the role of CIO, CTO, CISO, CPO (chief privacy Officer), CDAIO (chief data and AI officer) have little to no background in technology.

Ok-Range-3306

he made salesforce go from 0 to 40B per year, do you think hes a good CTO? or just carried by the other... 5 employees at the time of founding?

TTKnumberONE

I think good problem solving is a teachable skill. Going for a STEM degree and especially engineering is a good start. In this specific example I think it’s pretty dumb to judge a guy from his undergraduate degree from 1989. A simple scan of his resume would indicate he immediately went to work as a SWE for 5 years before starting his own cloud computing company and then immediately went to Salesforce as CTO, which he’s been for 26 years now. It literally doesnt matter what he did for undergrad. So yes, you’re right in that most CTOs have engineering backgrounds and most CEOs would probably want a CTO to have that type of background. In this case there’s a pretty clear reason none of that matters.

CLV9

You are spot on and getting downvoted, core principles and engineering challenges do not change as frequently as these people think. Literally every other top CEO and CTO have engineering degrees and these people argue that a few anecdotes completely disqualifies this. Lisa Su, Jensen Huang, Satya Nadella, C.C. Wei, Jeff Bezos have the same branch of engineering degree even.
