Don't know why but for some reasons I cannot take people seriously that write articles about the importance of their role.

In the media, CTOs are often portrayed as tech geniuses or wizards, single-handedly coding complex algorithms or inventing groundbreaking technologies.

Not sure what kind of media the author of this articles (op?) consumes, but I don't know anybody who thinks something like that.

Definitely hyperbole, but it's not uncommon for CTOs to be the main author of a company's tech.
