People who tell computers what to do, and people who are told by computers what to do.
Marc Andreessen
Newspapers with declining circulations can complain all they want about their readers and even say they have no taste. But you will still go out of business over time. A newspaper is not a public trust - it has a business model that either works or it doesn't.

Innovation accelerates and compounds.
Marc Andreessen
I've been an entrepreneur three times. I started three companies.

Once you understand that everybody's going to get connected, a lot of things follow from that. If everybody gets the Internet, they end up with a browser, so they look at web pages - but they can also leave comments, create web pages. They can even host their own server! So not only is everybody consuming, they can also produce.
Marc Andreessen
The difference between a vision and a hallucination is that other people can see the vision.
Marc Andreessen
The days when a car aficionado could repair his or her own car are long past, due primarily to the high software content.
Marc Andreessen
It was a joke, okay? If we thought it would actually be used, we wouldn't have written it!
Marc Andreessen
Qualified software engineers, managers, marketers and salespeople in Silicon Valley can rack up dozens of high-paying, high-upside job offers any time they want, while national unemployment and underemployment is sky high
Marc Andreessen
Rule 1: All rules can be broken. Many (ex-legal and ethical) should be. Most people won't.
Marc Andreessen
China is very entrepreneurial but has no rule of law. Europe has rule of law but isn't entrepreneurial. Combine rule of law, entrepreneurialism and a generally pro-business policy, and you have Apple.
Marc Andreessen
Google is working on self-driving cars, and they seem to work. People are so bad at driving cars that computers don't have to be that good to be much better.
Marc Andreessen
I think that every technology company that's more than 20 years old will break up
Marc Andreessen
I always had the old-school model that I'm going to work for as long as I'm relevant and focus on for-profit activities and someday when I retire I'm going to learn about philanthropy.
