Shovels that are less and less competitive over time.
Yeah the joke here is that hiring out shovels is way less of a good businessmodel than actually selling the shovels to the hopeful. In addition to the absurdity of hiring out something as simple as a shovel on an industrial scale.

the worst part of this post was finding a pic. that is the least worst pic of Andreessen I think.

If you ever get tired of searching for pics, you could always go the lazy route and fall back on AI-generated images. But then you'd have to accept the reality that in few years your posts would have the analog of a geocities webring stamped on them.
we are trying to avoid those, yes
