Ask HN: Can you be CEO and have major role in product at a huge company?
Trying to figure out my priorities for boot-strapping vs. being a venture-backed/high growth company.
Biggest con of the latter to me is I always want to have a firm grasp on the product direction/design wheel.
Can you do both if you become a very large company?
Did/Does say Steve Jobs/Elon Musk actually spend major time designing, thinking, innovating product or is that more of a media/storytelling facade and the truth is that they just make more decisions in these areas than the traditional CEO?
