- AI is increasingly replacing developers, but the question arises: why not CEOs?
- Median S&P 500 CEO compensation in 2024 was $17.1 million, equivalent to 85 senior software engineers.
- CEOs' bad decisions have a massive blast radius, affecting entire companies, unlike developers whose mistakes are contained.
- Proposal: Replace CEOs with AI systems (AEOs) and a smaller A-suite (AxOs) for human judgment tasks, saving millions.
- Current governance structures protect CEOs, making it hard to implement such changes despite potential efficiency gains.
- BoringOps advocates applying efficiency logic to executive compensation, similar to how it's applied to other roles.
