I haven’t seen anyone yet comment on the design constraint that SSH uses a lot of separation in its multiplexing for the purpose of sandboxing/isolation. Would want transport to be as straightforward as possible. SSH needs to be the reliable, secure tunnel that you can use to manage your high performance gateways. It has a lot of ways to turn things off to avoid attack surface. HTTP protocols have a lot of base requirements. Different problems.

I was CTO from 2 to 100, over 6 years, and led the core tech development the entire time. Tech Co-Founders certainly can and do code. I was a Principal Engineer before and after.
In a sense, you are right that the title is meaningless, and only means signature powers.
And you are right that other principals rewrote legacy stuff. But I also participated at the same level. I just knew I was only above due to some market luck lining up with my experience. Will never know exactly how much influence I had over that situation.
But I have a Jazz background. It is easy for me to respect equally everyone on the team. Sports can do the same, but I think music is probably more effective, because it is inherently more spectator than competitive. Musicians tend to make incredible team players, if they stuck with it for long enough. Many leaders in band are leaders in sports, in school. And the formal language abilities are already demonstrated in musicians.
Well, that went in a strange direction.
Need to use the Wittgenstein approach: “What can be shown cannot be said.” LLMs need you to show it what you want. Its model has seen nothing. Built up a library of examples. Humans also work better this way. Just good practice.
