The first: delegate everything. Full autonomy. Let the AI decide. No direction. The ship drifts.

“There is no favorable wind for the sailor who doesn't know where he's going.” — Seneca

The second: say “yes Claude” at every step. Review every output. Approve every move. You're out of the build — but stuck in the review. That's assisted labor, not leverage.

Both miss the point.

The captain (founder/executive/leader) sets the course. Comes back to check.

The new skill isn't building with AI. It's knowing where to point it.
