Maybe a better way to rephrase this is: "How would you fire your boss?"
You say the technical founder is well-liked by the other employees. How do your peers feel about you?
Respectfully, you sound like a fresh Alpha Male who's found a new pride, topped the old Alpha, and now you're looking to push him out entirely to cement your dominance. But you're doing so under a passive-aggressive cover, as us tech workers often do.
How long do you expect to be with this company? What do you think about leaving and finding another startup to work with? Maybe somewhere whose work and founders you will respect more? Or even starting your own startup?
