Programmers love to name things, and then argue about the name.

For me, "founder mode" just means being extremely motivated to go "harder, better, faster, stronger" (ala Daft Punk and Kanye).

You don't need to be a founder to be motivated and just because you're a founder doesn't mean you're motivated. But the two nicely line up.

Calling it founder mode has obviously been a great way to get nerds to argue about it, so good on pg.

Yep, the nerd sniping worked, and besides there's no such thing as bad publicity.
