An Ode to Founder Mode

An Ode to Founder Mode:

In a world full of business fog, the guiding light is Paul Graham’s blog.

It clears the darkness and calms the seas, it guides us all…or so it seems.

The man is a wizard who always knows what’s best. So why did this post feel like it was missing the rest? (Eh, who cares?)

As a founder myself, I follow him religiously, so that one day I too could influence so prestigiously.

I drink from the fountain of knowledge he provides, along with other founders (even though they all support different sides).

I NEED to know all their tactics, skills, ideas, and the rest, because how else am I supposed to become the best?

These men and women have succeeded, and have ideas that are epiphinal, so it’s much better that I learn from them, than have ideas that are original.

So with Founder Mode I will carefully pour over the text, translating and analyzing for hours without rest, so I can go debate it with those fools over on X.

Yes, it’s quite nice being a founder where I don’t ever have to think for myself, instead I can rely on others to teach me to build my wealth.

So I’ll keep listening to these mentors as they debate tactics to the core, until one day I’ll know everything and won’t have to know more…and then I’ll definitely have an idea no one’s thought of before.
