> This might sound crazy as a software engineer, but I actually like the occasional "snow day" where everything goes down

As as software engineer, I get it. as a CTO, I spent this morning triaging with my devops ai(actual Indian) to find some workaround (we found one) while our CEO was doing damage control with customers (non technical field) who were angry that we were down and they were losing business by the minute.

sometimes I miss not having a direct stake in the success of the business.
