#973 The CTO Extinction Event with Etienne de Bruin, Founder of Seven CTOs

Today, we're talking to Etienne, founder of Seven CTOs and author of the new book Refactor. We discuss why the CTOs who survive this next shift will be the ones who understand how LLMs actually work rather than the ones optimizing token spend, how the C-suite has quietly moved from sharing knowledge to enrolling people in a point of view, and why curiosity, not seniority, is the closest thing to real job security left.

All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast!
