You think founder mode, if you're not in that founder position, you get positioned as a cog. Is that right?

Mm-hmm. Gotcha. I did some Googling while you were talking there, just briefly. I wrote one thing into, I actually kind of enjoyed this about Google now where you can just sort of treat like a prompt. And so I just said, summarize founder mode. So rather than going to chat GPT or some paid product, I'm just like, okay, let me just throw this into Google. And it's for the most part on, on par.

They summarized it by saying that founder mode is a way of running a company that involves direct involvement and oversight or, quote, micromanagement. And it says great founders have hired executives and it's not worked. This is summarized from Sam's newsletter on Substack, this part of it at least. is in summary that great founders have hired great executives and it's not worked.

Instead, the thing that works is in quotes founder mode, which is direct involvement and oversight of what would typically be called micromanagement. And then the lens for this mode is towards startups and scale-ups.

So likely the founders should be directly involved in raising new funds or directing the product or micromanaging to some degree this user experience or this developer experience, which has become all the rage the last several years. It's like, we are DX-focused.

We're developer experience-focused and not our friends over at getdx.com-focused, a different kind of developer experience, but cut from similar cloth. What's up, friends? I'm here in the breaks with Kyle Carberry, co-founder and CTO over at Coder.com. Coder is an open source cloud development environment, a CDE. You can host this in your cloud or on premise. So, Kyle, walk me through the process.

A CDE lets developers put their development environment in the cloud. Walk me through the process. They get an invite from their platform team to join their Coder instance. They got to sign in, set up their keys, set up their code editor.

Very cool. Thank you, Kyle. Well, friends, it might be time to consider a cloud development environment, a CDE. And open source is awesome. And Coder is fully open source. You can go to Coder.com right now, install Coder open source, start a premium trial, or get a demo. For me, my first step, I installed it on my Proxmox box and played with it. It was so cool. I loved it. Again, Coder.com.

That's C-O-D-E-R.com. A while back I wrote this because I felt this, it wasn't called Founder Mode at that time, but what I was experiencing and why I wrote this was a result of Founder Mode now that I have retrospect and that's why I pulled this up. So a while back on my blog, which I do not write too often, I'll link it up in our show notes, is I wrote a post called I'm a Cog.

And this is in light of reading Linchpin from Seth Godin. And then in light of being pressured into this founder mode world where I've got skills, abilities, growth opportunities, but the organization was very hearing this and hearing you, it was founder mode. And we were a startup. We were a scale up. And so it makes sense why this pressure was there.
