I had a meeting with a c-suite type from one of our clients about ten years ago. He had just read an article about APIs and wanted to find out from me how his company could start using them. His company's back end was basically nothing but APIs. This made me lose the last modicum of respect I had for c-suite types, shocking because I don't know why I even still had that modicum left.

You should be in the position and get paid their wage. Ask for a raise whenever possible.

TBF that guy's primary responsibility was to look good in a suit (or a tech vest) and help secure the next round of venture capital funds. Not anything that I was good at.
