GPT4 summary of https://paulgraham.com/foundermode.html prompt used: "what are the main points in this article?"

The main points of the article centered around the concept of "Founder Mode" in business management, particularly contrasting it with "Manager Mode." Here are the key takeaways:

  1. Critique of Conventional Wisdom: The article begins by discussing a talk by Brian Chesky at a YC event, critiquing the conventional wisdom on how to run large companies. Chesky and other founders found traditional advice disastrous for their companies.
  2. Founder vs. Manager Mode: It introduces the idea of two distinct modes of running a company: "Founder Mode" and "Manager Mode." The conventional approach, which is more aligned with Manager Mode, often fails when applied by founders who are deeply connected to their companies.
  3. Ineffectiveness of Manager Mode for Founders: The article suggests that Manager Mode is less effective for founders because it involves stepping back and letting others handle the operations, which can lead to mismanagement and a loss of the original vision.
  4. Characteristics of Founder Mode: Founder Mod

"product market fit" is dead 😵, hail "position market fit" 🦄

The main points of the article are:

  1. Pricing and Positioning: The article argues that most pricing problems are actually positioning problems. Pricing and positioning are deeply interlinked and changing one affects the other.

  2. The Importance of Positioning: The article emphasizes that positioning is often neglected but is a crucial part of the equation. It argues that understanding pricing strategies has become less valuable as they have become standard industry playbooks, while effective positioning has become exponentially harder.

  3. From Product-Market Fit to Position-Market Fit: The article suggests that the concept of product-market fit is outdated. Instead, it introduces the concept of position-market fit, which means finding the right combination of product, brand, marketing, pricing, go-to-market, sales, etc. in a given domain.

  4. The Importance of Brain Estate: The article introduces the concept of "brain estate", which refers to the portion of consumer mindshare a company is

What days are best

  • Weekend for pet projects or if you want top product badge. Weekdays for all others
  • Fridays are semi weekends. Since everyone is at the bar partying etc. Leave the office early. Or go to the cabin. Mondays people are biz working, and no time for PH. Tuesdays, people get the FOMO urge and check PH. And on Tuesdays you get Wedensday and Thursday to pump your long tail around the webs

How do you win:

  • Pump on linkedin. ask for support etc
  • Build at least 1k notified in the upcoming page. and spam them on launch day
  • Make everything super clear. Engage with people, dont use LLMs for engagment, it feels fake and people get turned off
  • Launch great stuff. Commodeties wont get real traction.

  • Gists offer enhanced portability and composability.
  • They are not subject to single-company control, eliminating lock-ins.
  • Gists cannot be censored or restricted.
  • You have the flexibility to host them on various platforms, such as GitLab, Notion, and more.
