to be fair, CTO's have very little involvement with the underlings at a large enough company. you'd like to think CTO's are actually very involved people with the engineering teams, but they are just yet another layer of management. if it was a small company, then sure, the CTO would have been involved, but the Capital One CTO likely does nothing actually technical. I just spent over half a decade at a Fortune 100 company and did get to know one of the CTOs well who actually did try to get involved, then he was removed and I quit after the 4th replacement just was so inept I couldn't take it anymore.

I think the CTO of Capital One should be going to jail.
