You think being a CTO is all strategy, innovation, and visionary thinking?
Try juggling a caffeine shortage, a “critical” production bug caused by a cat, and an intern who just deployed to production on a Friday.
Welcome to the CTO Chronicles — where every day is a mix of chaos, comedy, and code reviews.
💻 1. The Great Coffee Outage
It was 9:00 AM. The devs were logging in. The caffeine machine — logged out permanently.
Instant panic. Productivity dropped 87%. The office looked like a zombie apocalypse.
Lesson learned? Always have coffee redundancy. Backup plan: espresso capsules under lock and key.
🐈 2. The Cat-astrophic Commit
Our office cat decided to “help” during a sprint.
She gracefully walked across the keyboard and — you guessed it — committed code.
We called it the ‘Paw Patch’. It fixed nothing, broke everything, and made history.
🤦♂️ 3. The Demo Disaster
Everything worked perfectly until… the client joined the call.
The app froze, the slides vanished, and someone’s Spotify playlist blasted “Eye of the Tiger.”
Lesson: Always test your demo — and your playlist.
🔥 4. Friday Deploy Fiasco
Despite every warning, someone said, “It’s a small change.”
Three hours later, we were still debugging while ordering emergency pizza.
If you’ve ever uttered “just a quick fix,” you already know — it never is.
🧠 5. The Slack Slip
A team member meant to DM their friend about the “chaotic sprint planning” — but posted it in the general chat…
Let’s just say it sparked an impromptu retro on communication tone and emoji etiquette. 😅
🚀 Final Thoughts
Every CTO knows that tech leadership isn’t just about systems — it’s about stories.
Laughter is the best debugging tool for stress.
Because if you can laugh at your mistakes, you’re already one step closer to mastering them.
