We have CEOs that finally feel unleashed, like they have Rapplet and they have an idea. They don't have to go beg someone to do it. They can like just vibe code and bring into a meeting and look what I built. We want to get to a point where you don't have to code at all. You should be in a creative space. A lot of coding is minutia. A lot of coding is accidental complexity. And turns out there's actually research. Doctors who play video games have much better reaction times. So if you want to do a surgery, I was asking if they're a gamer. Oh, not a gamer, sorry. Where where's the gamer? Get the gamer. A I is reshaping how we work, learn, and create. And nowhere. Is that change more tangible?
Then encoding. That's where today's guest comes in. If you've heard of vibe coding You've heard of Amjad Masad, founder and CEO of Replit. The platform that lets anyone
Build software. Right from the browser. Amjad grew up in Jordan, where he taught himself to code before studying computer science and moving to the United States. He became a founding engineer at Code Academy and later led JavaScript infrastructure at Facebook. What you might not know is that he's also an empathetic people focused voice in the AI space. Talking about issues and philosophy that others won't. I've used Replic myself, and it's clear to me.
