There's an old adage in software development that I refer to all the time: The first 90% of development takes 90% of the time. I used this when I taught software engineering. The remaining 10%, takes the other 90% of the time. It's currently in beta.

In the second, the candidate is using some standard industry lingo as a crutch — what he said could easily be applied to pretty much any software engineering position. Or I can arbitrarily call myself CTO of something I spaghetti-coded in a weekend with a friend. Or I can create a new, actually useful JavaScript framework.

I think the real moral of this story is, (1) if you want to work at a startup, make sure the CTO cares about problem solving and not technology religion, (2) if you’re cooking steaks on a gas grill and you see your CTO warming up a dead squirrel over a book of matches, starting looking for a new job.
