If I were a CEO and my CTO asked that question I would start looking for a new CTO.

Sorry, not a helpful answer...

Great CEO here, firing your first time CTO for asking for advice on something they've never done before

You are taking a massive corporate risk by bringing in someone who doesn't know what they are doing.

I would be equally worried if I was the director of engineering and had to work with this person. Ditto if I was a lower level engineer.

If I had to guess the poster is actually talking about engineering and confusing it with technology ... which is a whole different problem.
