In Marc Andreessen's words, you can't plan your career because you have no idea what's going to happen in the future. He believes that you will have no idea what industries you will be entering, what companies you will be working for, what roles you will be having, where you will end up living or what you will contribute ultimately to the world.
We are all subjected to change and you will change, industries will change, the world will change and we cannot possibly predict any of it. In other words, what he's saying is that if we attempt to plan our career, it will most probably be an exercise in futility. In the end, it may frustrate us and blind us to the really significant opportunities that life will throw our way.
Therefore, he says that:
Career planning = career limiting
and the sooner we come to terms with that, the better.
