Marc Andreessen has a reputation for not watering down his takes. On a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, the venture capitalist and co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz made his position on AI coding agents clear: bots, he said, are just better workers, at least on paper.
Andreessen told Rogan, laughing, “The bots never get frustrated with you.” A bot, he added, “never gets drunk, never gets sick, never gets high” and does not file HR complaints. That’s a catchy soundbite, but the argument behind it is something the tech industry has been slowly building towards for years.
