TomMaszI would have said “Egghead” but I’ll take this one, too.
Having an egg head? In this economy?

No need for anything so drastic. Just find him a wall to sit on.
But they’d just put him back together again
Who? The horses? Let them try.
Don’t worry, the men will save the day!
Are you a writer for Netflix? Because you’re deviating from the source material pretty hard here.

I Ioved this game as a kid, such great memories
The music started playing in my head immediately!
Jake Farm*Marc Andreessen and his alt accounts didn’t like this
Damn, I just replied with the same picture, scrolled down, saw yours, scrolled up and deleted my reply.
I find it odd that this is an obvious, professionally shot, studio photo…. and this is the best angle they could find.
ObliviousEnlightenmentGoes to show how much of a dickhead he is
potoooooooo ✅️And photographers ALWAYS retouch photos. Factoring in the absolute minimum-possible insecurity and accounting for all other variables, my calculations put the absolute most-conservative estimate around here:
ddittyYou can find an even better (worse) picture of him on his Wikipedia page.
pelespiritThat’s an unfortunate head shape for someone to be bald.
He’s unfortunate in general.
This is fine🔥🐶☕🔥His wife is hot though.
And a trash like him
In 2022, Arrillaga-Andreessen and her husband advocated against the construction of 131 multifamily housing units in their affluent town, Atherton, California.
You just need to say Atherton. One of the richest of the richest cities in the US. And all of them rabid NIMBYs.
Crazy that they look like different people between the OP image and the Wiki.
Yeah I thought the same which is why I felt compelled to post the link to his wiki page. He’s a fatass in the Wikipedia page.
Read into his Wikipedia a bit, never heard of the guy. Seems he’s a cofounder of Netscape? And ning.com, which I’d never heard of. Its wiki page describes it as
a free-form platform for the development and hosting of open-source “social applications”
Sounds cool at a surface level, kinda like what we have here! But then I read on…
February 2018, Ning launched a monetization platform, enabling users to earn an income from their social websites
Oh… And sure enough, I load up ning.com itself and behold=
“Money, money, money!”
I’m glad they made this an actual game.
Is this a reference to something?

Oh my god I legit thought to myself “how was that egg 40 eggs” when I played it before watching this.
Thank you for this. I’ve only seen a couple episodes, I’ll have to watch more.

Yet again another tech nerd turned fascist. I am beginning to think that learning computer programming is inherently damaging to the human brain.
It kind of is? If you’ve ever built a computer game, even with a software that walks you through it, it is a completely different way of thinking. It’s very black and white, the switch is either on or off. Also, you follow a direct path while trying to keep your code “clean.” No emotions, just planning it out trying to get to your destination.
I don’t think anything is black or white in programming (except booleans). And I’d say it can be very much emotional, it just depends on your goal and how you reach it. For me, I’d say programming is like painting or wood carving. It’s a tool that can be used to create art.
You’re right, I can say that’s fair that it’s a tool. But there are craftsman that build something useful and artists that make worlds. While programming can be both types of artists, they lean heavily towards craftsman that have rules.
if you dig deep into hardware you’ll
learn that theres no such thing as a pure 1 or 0. check out an eye diagram of a bit error rate test.
In my opinion, it’s mainly the money.
The problem is these people solved some novel problem in the world with their programming skills and it made them really rich. They have been lavished with praise, money, and attention their entire lives. They think they’re smart and that gives them license to invite themselves into other areas that they have no experience in. An example is obviously Elon Musk wading in to government, but even back during Covid he was making predictions about the spread of the disease, even when he had no background in medical science. His predictions were wildly wrong.
As an IT guy i think I may have a theory.
I would consider technology to be inheirantly fascist, everything is utilitarian, superflous data is bloat.
You have an admin class that set the rules for the programs to enforce for the user.
In a well organized system, everything is very neat and tidy, names/types that don’t fit are quickly and easily corrected.
This is why tech-bros go fascist, they are replicating the idea of computer order onto hummans, where is absolutely idiotc
Stallman was uhhh, correct, or whatever.
You may be on to something an it kills me these asshats made all their money by taking from Government funded programs like Basic and from community free and open source projects.
Breathe. Punctuate.
I don’t like Nazi’s in my government nor in grammar.
I think you’re overlooking all of the free and open source software and people like me who work in the industry and are radical leftists.
The more likely connection here is that these are all rich CEOs…
Self sorting?
Idealistic ones open source their software.
Greedy pigs try making billions.
Fair take, and applies in every industry. Basically what I’m trying to say is it’s all about capitalism baby. The shit floats
Yep, this. Thanks for saying it!
Some of us want to use technology to do all those nice lofty things like send cat memes and connect with our friends with only as much “administration” is necessary to protect it.
Ok, that is a good point, I can absolutely see that I may be wrong to call is fascist, but it is definitely authoritarian, where the coders decide the rules and the program enforces them, I can see that applying a left/right political bias can be wrong.
Code is a language that can describe all sorts of systems, some of those systems have rigid hierarchies and some of those systems are distributed.
Software development teams also tend to work in collaborative ways, as much as Agile and Scrum development practices are bastardized in many large companies the core philosophies are very worker-empowering.
In the cases where companies use “waterfall” or misuse Agile the culprit seems to be managerial interference or very rigid and important requirements (e.g. a plane software system that must not fail)
I see your point, but per the above I would say it’s not universal and I would also counter that software architects have very open-ended solutions to choose from and are used to thinking about a system as a whole, which in my case at least leads me to questioning how our political and social systems can change for the better.

Glad to see like-minded people here! I actually just finished a manifesto on this exact topic:
arendjr.nl/blog/2025/02/new-monarchy/
It’s quite the read, but I’d be happy to hear your feedback.
New Monarchy: A Rethinking of the Values of Democracy
New Monarchy is based on a union of districts, each governed by a monarchy. Monarchies are constrained by a constitution to guarantee citizen rights, including the right to depose unjust or unfit rulers, while districts are sworn to protect each other's constitution.
Not like minded… I’m not opposed to the principles you lay out in your abstract but the monarchy power structure isn’t what I’m interested in.
Socialism, communism, and ultimately anarchism are the way forward in my opinion.
Fair, just wanted to point out that the monarchy class I’m proposing is actually a communist class intended to keep the capitalist/socialist citizenry in check. So there may be more in it than you might have realised from the abstract alone.
Also many techbros think they are incredibly intelligent and good at all the smart things when many are like the surgeon who is good at their specialty but are fucking morons in all other regards.
Honestly, even that is being too generous.
Programming has this crazy mystique of being something that only “smart” people do, but it’s not. Software development is much, much more like a more conventional ‘trades’ job. I’ve been writing software for 15 years, and I feel like I have more in common with plumbers and electricians than I do with doctors or engineers.
If ben carson could read he would downvote this comment
You want to know what makes Elon so great? He can buy things.
He bought Tesla, he didn’t invent electric cars.
You and me can buy stock in companies like Tesla too. But we can’t buy a 50% stake.
He is also willing to take risks. But it is so much easier to take a 1 million dollar risk on a few start ups if you have 250 million.
These techbros may very well be competent at some things but their number one qualification is their immense wealth.
