Founder mode: Oxide and friends (best take so far)

Best take so far on founder mode: https://oxide.computer/podcasts/oxide-and-friends/2098243

The hosts do a fantastic job of keeping the discussion entertaining, despite its length.

Some key takeaways:

1. Oxide write-intensive culture as a mechanism to build trust and keeping the company true to itself: a writing- (and reading-!) intensive company culture does, in fact, allow for scaling the kind of responsibility that Graham thinks of as founder mode
2. the false dichotomy between founder mode and "traditional" manager mode
3. the feat that founder mode will be used to justify all kind of behaviour and decisions

Footnote: interestingly they link to the same interview of Brian Chesky that I linked too in my previous posts on the topic.
