Marc Andreessen, Murder Enthusiast.

I didn't think that my former (extremely former) friend and coworker could be more of an unmitigated piece of shit, but "We hired this completely inexperienced guy solely because he murdered a black man" really...

@jwz it's the logical conclusion of "anti-DEI".
@shabbychef @jwz
I guess that whole "hire the most qualified person" was just a bunch of bullshit & I could not be more shocked.
It's DEI for white racists.
@jwz OT, but how do you get Mastodon responses to show up as comments on your blog?

@jwz Even further O.T., I actually remember that green-on green colour from my dads IBM PC screen. I can actually feel the heavy, clacky keys under my fingers from 40 years ago. @plantarum
@jwz Even more surprised Horowitz went along with it.

@jwz

Every interaction I’ve had with him (going back to UIUC) was not positive nor pleasant.

Dude is high off the smell of his own farts.

@jwz It is immensely embarrassing to me that one of the startups I worked for years ago was backed by a16z. Never again, obviously.
@jwz Homogeneity, Ableism, Totalitarianism and Exclusion (HATE) is their replacement for DEI. This killer is a HATE hire.
@jwz did he ever really innovate anything? He was part of the Mosaic team at UIUC, but I read once he didn't really see the potential in it, and it took Jim Clark flying in to convince him of it. Am I remembering that correctly?
@jwz This is their meritocracy. They find merit in what he did.
@wtfwtf_ok @jwz sociopathy is a competitive advantage
@jwz I believe this is known as "shitbag signalling"
@jwz Marc Andreessen has been a piece of shit for at least 2 decades. Not surprised.

@jwz Not to minimize the vileness from Andreessen Horowitz, but there's one, useful lesson in all this. It removes any doubt as to what kind of shitheel Penny is.

Imagine taking an overpaid job for which you and *everyone* hiring you knows you're unqualified, and imagine feeling entitled to it despite *knowing* that your sole qualification is that you murdered a black man.

This sociopath motherfucker thinks he deserves the hookers and blow VC cash can buy him *as a thank you*. My god.
