How to be a tech shithead:
Somehow, this guy is the CEO.
Don’t forget the most important prerequisite: be a psychopath. Something something 12-15% of the world’s top CEOs are clinically psychopaths, so this is the world we get.
That's how meritocracies actually work.
Being responsive and responsible is the merit accumulation stage.
Once you accumulate enough merit, you enter the reward stage.
And what's the reward?
The reward is that you no longer need to be responsive or responsible.
What you achieve is relative to where you born and who your family know and have. And in a very small proportion your skill and competence.
