Having known a number of CEOs over the years, they arent the ones waking up for those 3am calls unless it's a business shattering literally apocalyptic event.

They honestly shouldn't be the ones taking emergency calls either since most of the time they'll be in the way.

Gabe Newell is not a usual CEO though.

[–] AAA@feddit.org 22 points 4 days ago

He's definitely also not a "fixes the bug himself" CEO.

We can pretend he's different. I can freely admit that I like to think he's different. But no way in hell is he fixing any kind of problem, that arises in the middle of the night, himself.

There's no reason to idolize the man.

I'm not doing that, just saying it. There's no reason to idolize anything. Even idols. Antique Mediterranean was better for being as religiously pluralistic as rural China.
