Marc Andreessen shared Replit CEO Amjad Masad's essay 'Replit and the dawn of the self-driving company', praising Masad for articulating what others weren't brave or clear enough to say.
Quoted via gabygoldberg, the essay's core lessons from computing history: first, someone must rein in the chaos and build the habitat for valuable behavior to thrive; second, chaos itself is an important signal of the kind of behavior that creates deep alignment inside a company and lets it do its best work.
