Marc Andreessen on Replit: the dawn of the 'self-driving company'
amasad · x · 2026-10-28
Marc Andreessen published an essay, "Replit and the dawn of the self-driving company," praising Replit CEO Amjad Masad for articulating what others hesitate to say. His core argument: for a company to become self-driving (highly automated), it must first become aligned — and nothing creates alignment like expanding the set of people who can contribute code. Masad amplified the piece, and a16z partner David George quoted the line approvingly, tying AI coding tools to organizational change.
