Manager mode "hire good people and give them room" often means "hire professional fakers and let them destroy your company." Founders can do things managers cannot because they have authority, context, and skin in the game that hired executives lack.

Stripe's API-first decision:
| Situation | Manager Mode Says | Founder Mode Does |
|---|---|---|
| Product quality slipping | "Hire a VP of Quality" | Review products yourself, find the root cause |
| Culture diluting | "HR will handle it" | Personally interview key hires, fire culture violators fast |
| Innovation stalling | "Create an innovation lab" | Kill the lab, put innovators on core product |
| Customers complaining | "Hire more support" | Talk to 10 angry customers yourself this week |
| Executives underperforming | "Give them more time, coaching" | Fire fast, you probably already know |
When applying founder mode to a challenge:
Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
Applies Anthropic's official brand colors and typography to any sort of artifact that may benefit from having Anthropic's look-and-feel. Use it when brand colors or style guidelines, visual formatting, or company design standards apply.
Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
