And the goal was like, let's teach everyone how to code.
Let's make it as simple as possible.
And I started seeing the stories back then even.
Like if
A fitness guy learns a little bit of coding, launches an app on the app store, makes a million bucks.
It's like, wow, this is amazing.
And so when we started the company Replit in 2016, the goal was how do you make programming more accessible?
How do you get to a point where there's a billion developers, not just 20 million developers at the time?
And so we started solving one problem at a time, right?
Solving the development environment, solving the hosting environment, solving the package management, the maintenance, the iteration, the version management, the multiply.
But there's one bottleneck and that is people don't want to learn how to code.
And it took me a long time to really accept that because I became the learn to code guy.
And in, I think March, 2025, when I was in TPBPN and I said, I no longer think you should learn how to code.
I went super viral.
People were pissed.
How could you say that?
And it's just the realization that there are people that are now successful.
You know, we were talking about Jason Lemkin earlier from Sastr.
People that are building multimillion dollar businesses solo with no developers.
They don't need to learn how to code.
