The Founder Mode Debate
You cannot throw a stone the past two weeks without hitting a thought piece on Paul Graham’s Founder Mode essay. Lucky for you - we’ve parsed through the noise and found a poignant article for and against this approach. You can thank us later.
👎 Founder Mode Embodies the Tech Leadership Crisis: If you were put-off by the essay’s dismissal of non-founder managers, glorification of founders, and focus on a new wave of micromanagement, then this blog is for you.
👍 We Are Not The Same: The Obligatory Post on “Founder Mode”: While acknowledging the benefits of leadership involvement, this article strikes a balance between an authoritarian founder and fully delegating. If morality, community, metrics, and discussion of ‘span of control’ get you going then spend some time with this thought piece.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): A Technical AI Explainer
As a leader in human-centered software design and upskilling, we always stay on top of the most cutting edge tech for our agency clients & community. 📹 In this video, Ash deep dives into the world of AI with a short, sweet, but comprehensive overview on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques.
🗯️Quotable Bit: “The AI gold rush is on. Some would say it’s a bubble. But if you’re looking to build the next big thing in AI, listen up. This is for you. RAG, or Retrieval-Augmented Generation, is a must have skill for creating powerful AI products.”
We’re building the future of learning, out loud.
➡️ At this week’s featured workshop, SiSo Beta Members have the incredible opportunity to learn how to build 🤯ZoomMorph Video Animations, like this mind-bending visual from our Lead Data Scientist.
➡️ Performing a Code Review (CR) is a skill that everyone dev needs to have - but training is often lacking. Beta Members Shadowed a SiSo Dev’s CR last week, which was a reminder that sometimes we all just need to go back to the basics.
