He might be inept, but in this instance the CTO is mainly just covering his own ass.

"Yeah the whole site is buggered, and the backups aren't working - but I fired the Junior developer who did it" Is not how you Cover Your Ass ™.

  • You can be inept WHILE covering your ass. I'm not saying he's a genius.

    • Blaming the new guy is not covering your ass. Blaming the senior engineer who put the credentials in the document would be covering your ass.
