Current eng leadership roles: either fix a dying company or salvage an overvalued AI startup
RantSource: xAuthor: staysaasyHotness: 2203Published Jul 28, 2026
A sharp rant that 90% of current engineering leadership openings are either: 1) fixing a company dying in the AI era with no good people left, at Google Staff Eng pay; or 2) turning an overvalued AI startup (ChatGPT wrapper, $1B valuation on $1M revenue) into a real AI company, with no real CTO. Both promise 'major upside if you literally fix everything.'
