This is a bit of a flippant dismissal, but the interview reads as if it's Mitt Romney answering the questions, not someone in the tech community.

- _delirium 12y agoIt's been many years since Andreessen's day-to-day concerns have been tech-related, rather than finance-related. Not too surprising he would have opinions common among people in the finance sector, considering that's what he lives and breathes (this doesn't mean they're right or wrong, just that they are unsurprising for someone coming from finance culture). It probably doesn't help that he's in business and daily contact with Ben Horowitz, who is even more sucked into the norms of that culture (check out the comments on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7191642 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7191642).
- dgreensp 12y agoCan you give examples of which opinions you consider "finance sector norms" rather than a more neutral or individual viewpoint?
- gyardley 12y agoRight, because no one at all in the 'tech community' agrees with Mitt Romney.
