Reflecting on Founder Mode

With some time passed, Bryan and Adam offer a non-hot take on Paul Graham's "Founder Mode" post. While there is plenty to quibble over, there's also the kernel of an important idea: how to balance experience, novel thinking, and limited time? Also stay tuned as they share a years old "ego con".
Your hosts were Bryan Cantrill (mastodon.social/@bcantrill) and Adam Leventhal (mastodon.social/@ahl).
