Marc Andreessen: “Take the Ego Out of Ideas”

Andreessen is quoted in the article as saying ..."Most of the good ideas are obvious," Andreessen says. "They just might not work right away."

If the good ideas are obvious, why bother listening to him?

He seems to ignore that an obvious good idea still requires exorbitant amounts of capital to enable it. No one can hack together a Netscape and win big anymore, been there done that.

Honestly, this "advice" comes off as a) obvious b) tone deaf.

I was only disagreeing with the 'sole claim to fame' part. Excessive and obviously inaccurate hyperbole does not make a good argument.
