Thanks for that. Chesteron's Fence and Peter's Law were unfamiliar to me.

Admittedly, as I look back on my career, I remember being asked why I didn't apply for a CTO position and maybe some internal awareness of Peter's Law was partially what caused me to abstain from pursuing such responsibilities?

Maybe that was an error on my part and I should have pursued a more upward trajectory? I have had so many awful experiences with managers and bosses that I have never wanted to become such a person myself.
