You read it wrong.

The tamed elephant isn't a metaphor for a man, it's literally an elephant.

The notion is you should endure the abuse of the elephant, rather than lash out at the king for reprehensible behavior.

The overall notion, regardless of whether it is a realistic one or not, is if we stop giving the gregarious attention they crave, it'll cease to be a valuable endeavor. Don't let the king rule you emotionally, and you'll never be their subject literally.

The alternative is revolt against the king. But violence begets violence. And the kings usually have the best weapons.

It's akin to Anarchisms "Rules without rulers".

Java in 1996 was version 1! Doesn't necessarily say much about Larry'd code-foo :)

Jokes aside; I agree with the advice of hiring people smarter than you in the domains where you won't be paying attention should the company actually take off.

If you're looking to be a founder/CEO level type, doesn't seem to matter what your skill in Java and OOP are, yes? No need to be a water walker.

That's the "genius" of management; they sell an idea and get someone else to do the work.
