My CEO did a deep dive into AI prototyping and eventually ran into a wall with data architecture and deployment. Fortunately, he realized very quickly that having human designed core infrastructure is what enables vibe coding that doesn't run off the rails.

Your CEO has more wisdom than most on this topic.
If all CEOs were as reasonable, there would be no AI bubble. Working in tech constantly means checking what's new and if you can wait it out or risk being left behind. That requires wisdom, but many CEOs seem driven by FOMO.

It doesn't help FOMO that scaling the executive ladder also means progressively staying behind in technical skills to stay ahead in managing skills. It's awesome that your CEO has managed to keep his fangs sharp enough.

I've been observing something which sounds very similar.
Everyone is going to learn this eventually. They can learn it the easy way or the hard way.
