Re:Mozilla names new CEO as it pivots to data privacy by xethos on Thursday February 08, 2024 @11:10AM (#39303633)
Being in love with the tech doesn't make someone a good CEO. Notably, sometimes standing too close to a problem prevents one from seeing solutions. Let's maybe start with actual admonisions against her (and her replacement's) relevant qualifications, achievements, or character (or lack thereof), instead of grabbing pitchforks and venting about how she's the wrong person to get a greenfield browser off the ground; simply put, that's not where Firefox or Mozilla is at right now.

It has nothing to do with tech. It's about a “pivot to data privacy” linking to one of the worse offender is terms of privacy invasion, that's just insane. It's as if say announced pivot to cloud computing and did so on a website hosted on AWS.

"Being in love with the tech doesn't make someone a good CEO."

I never said that this was a sufficient condition. I said it was a necessary condition.

We have spent decades trusting tech-illiterate CEO’s because "they knew the business and knowing the tech was useless".

See the result for yourself in every single company.
