Andreessen is overhyped. He says these bombastic things which, as bombastic things usually do are either not original and&#x2F;or usually not true. Say, one of the most famous of his is &quot;software is eating the world&quot; from 2011 but Alan Cooper (you know, the guy who invented Visual Basic) in his &quot;The inmates are running the asylum&quot; book from 1998 (that&#x27;s 13 years earlier) already argued that everything already is or will become a computer with some peripherals. That&#x27;s just one example, I am not saying Cooper is original but certainly Andreessen is not.<p>His examples include a modern, computerized warship which predictably crashed... When looking at his investment, sure, people will talk about Facebook but leave out Groupon and Zynga. The guy does not, at the end, shit gold.
