Reading Paul Graham’s statement in the blog post “Founder Mode”—“Obviously founders can’t keep running a 2000 person company the way they ran it when it had 20”—left me feeling a bit disappointed.

Every time I hear this, it’s usually followed by a push to transform a functional company structure into a bureaucratic behemoth. “Why not run a 2000-person company like it was 20?” If the current approach works and keeps both staff and customers happy, maybe that’s exactly the path to follow.
