## Overview

Awesome CTO is a curated, opinionated resource guide for CTOs and VP R&D, especially at startups and hyper-growth companies. The principal workflow is for a reader to browse the topic sections in README.md and follow curated links; the README also invites readers to subscribe for updates. The tree contains no runtime code, so the architecture is the guide itself. The README excerpt is incomplete, so topic groupings follow its contents list rather than sampled section implementations.

Main entry points: [`README.md`](https://github.com/kuchin/awesome-cto/blob/main/README.md) (Curated guide)
