I think if I were the CEO I'd have even more on my mind than managing servers.
I totally get that it can be cheaper to do things yourself. And I also get that sometimes you literally can't afford to go the easier route.
But I also think a lot of people of forums like this overly discount time spent or even just distraction that take away from doing the many other things you could be working on as part of a business.
But how would you feel if you were not just the Ops manager, but the CEO as well?
