This article is disingenuous all the way down:

"“founder mode” paradigm, a valid alternative to “skillful liars”

"I guess anyone can see how a spreadsheet with yellow, red and green statuses is nothing groundbreaking really!"

"Graham goes as far as positioning this as an entirely new paradigm, literally believing he's discovered something that nobody knew existed before."

"this approach is well known to business schools as poor, dysfunctional management, and the alternative to that is of course good management."

I could keep going. I am happy to read arguments for/against Founder Mode, but I want to read an actual argument, not ad hominem dressed in smarty pants.

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says"
