Replit is one of the best code innovation I have ever seen. As a 25 year professional programmer, those problems are the reason I hate picking up a new language. Replit solves it so well.

[@desireejouleadam]

Spot on with the conundrum of challenges Shaan! Literally started working with Replit a few weeks ago. Thanks for bringing Amjad to the pod!

[@ggenova79]

The idea is great and I have used Replit for the last 5 days. I loved what I saw. It was very easy to tell the AI Agent what I wanted and it suggested steps, additional features to add, built the database, handled migrations, etc. However, the basic authentication page I asked for never worked. 5 days and 4 separate projects later, I abandoned it. Every change introduced new bugs. The technology will get there, but it isn't as simple as they make it sound.

[@Live-Unfiltered]

I have used chat to code and it worked. I guess it's how you tell it things in bits and pieces

[@b3owu1f]

@@Live-Unfiltered When you say it worked.. it generated 100s of source files, intermixed/interdependent, using up to date libraries/dependencies, and it all compiled and deployed it for you in the cloud, complete with database, authentication, secure certs, load balancers and ability to scale as more users buy in to your app?

[@loveandroid62]

I don't think we'll have a pipeline of applications getting doing completelly out of propmts. Building a solution for specific cases is pretty much the hard part. Actually, most of the things we want, probably have already done templates to cover it. That's the easy part!

This broke my brain. Quite literally, the biggest problem any "idea guy or gal" has ever faced. I've loved computers and software since Apple II days, but never fell in love with the idea of spending years on coding a solution. This changes everything.

[@flennboyd6413]

Please allow the guest to speak 90% and questions/comments 10%

[@MM-lo9tk]

As a software engineer who now works with agents daily, I can promise you...the software the ai is writing for you right now is full of bugs if you're building anything complex enough to be of value. You need someone behind the wheel who understands how software works to nudge the ai in the correct direction and clean up the occasional dumb mistake that it struggles with. For now. This time next year... 🤷‍♂️

[@christenw.1726]

Have you built any ai agent armies?

[@balapillai]

Can I hire you part-time for an agents orchestration off hosted DeepSeek website?

[@WolfCatalyst]

Right? AI did teach me python and some c++ as I coded but wow. People think they're going to have an AI made app and then that's it. Just wait until a user reports a bug and the AI rewrites half your code to solve something that has nothing to do with the bug. 😂 You HAVE to have a basic understanding of coding and learn as you go. There's nobody telling AI to write an app and throwing it up for sale and thinking they're done. They're in for a real surprise, if that's what they're doing. AI is a tool, not a final answer, and thats where the difference lies.

[@t-zex4650]

Maybe I'm wrong, but from what I saw so far, "the idea guy" will be able to spit out a half working MVP and then will still need to pay pro devs to rewrite all that. Not saying complete apps won't be created by AI in the future, but I can't see this happening now. Another problem not discussed here, was maintenance of the production code. That is even more challenging than building the v1.

[@thornfalk]

the problem here is that you're thinking, these charlatans don't want you to do that. Just consume sheep.

[@mvthew]

Ya, I was feeling the same thought. As a software engineer, I’m just thinking… what happens when the DB goes down or a library is no longer supported. None of these “no code developers” will have a clue what to do or rather prompt the Ai how to fix the issue I guess. It kind of takes the fun out of building. I just think back to when I would play a video game and enter in the infinite life cheat, it takes away the joy.

As much as I like Replit, the reality is that the space is so saturated and there is so little brand loyalty at the moment, that it is inevitable that an alternative product appears that is cheaper, faster and better. I hope that he is able to take some money off of the table before it goes to $0.

[@chanrox69]

@greencoolmoss There are 100s of ways for each. Energy and time is your constraint. Capital should naturally come - you chase the VC, you lose both VC and customer. Just focus on the customer, growth and revenue. Rest of the things are like scaffolding for you to grow. VCs will come when you have revenue. For co-founder, the best person is with a complimentary skillset with equal passion. Find from your past working relationships or through YC co-founder dating

The polyphasic sleep schedule is the most interesting piece of this video IMO. I wonder how healthy it is. I'm an 8 hour a day guy and unfortunately my 13 year-old dog is set in her ways to get up and walk at 4-5 a.m. in the morning so I generally try to get to sleep between 8-9 p.m. I heard that sleep cycles are generally 1 1/2 hours each so going to sleep for 30 minutes at a time doesn't fit that research. I heard that going back to sleep for 15-30 minutes after hitting an alarm, for example, might often result in feeling more tired than in you go to sleep for an entire sleep cycle of 1 1/2 hours.

[@kingwillie206]

What matters most is the total amount of hours of quality sleep, even if it’s broken up. A bad mattress, the cab of a truck, or outside in the cold doesn’t count toward those hours.
