The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

There are many ways to be hot.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

Otherwise known as the pharmaceutical sales rep.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

Yes.

The a16z Show

Or the Oracle sales rep.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

So, yeah, so, yes, exactly.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

So, yeah, I mean, look, this is going to happen.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

Well, not literally.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

The jobs are going to change.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

I mean, this is sort of the obvious thing, and this always happens.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

The jobs are going to change.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

You know, by the way, so there's like a nascent concept that is actually playing out.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

I'm seeing it a bunch of the early leading edge companies in the Valley, which is they're kind of circling around a job title loosely called builder or something like it.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

And basically the idea is that you have these separate jobs in the past of programmer, product manager and designer.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

And I've been describing what's happening in the Valley companies as sort of this three-way Mexican standoff where the programmers think that they don't need the product managers and the designers anymore because they can have AI do that.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

And then each of the other two doesn't think they need the other two either.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

And what I've been predicting is like they're all correct.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

You know, the product manager can generate code and design now.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

And, you know, so each of them can do the job of all three.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

And so the idea is the job's changed.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

Now the job is builder.
