A piece of the system (a junior developer) is allowed to make mistakes. The person responsible for architecting and protecting the system (the CTO)... less so.

That depends, this might have been this CTO’s first time as CTO. Without knowing the story, they could so have been pretty far out of their element and just lucky to be a founder or something.

Even C-level people always have to have their first day as C-level and of course they will make mistakes.

The important thing is learning from them of course.
