Engineering don't think the idea is worth it or they have their own roadmap.

They don't care about it.

And now a lot of them are bringing in Replit to work.

They're building that idea and they're making the money for their company.

And then they're getting promoted and then they're giving more power.

And a lot of them go out and hire more people like them.

I'm going to build a team of vibe quarters that are going to go around the company and find all the inefficiencies and go solve them.

So we have a new role of this like generalist automator.

And they're less parochial than the engineer.

The engineer is like really focused on systems and engineering.

they're not as focused on one particular domain like sales and marketing.

They can hold the context of the entire business in their head and they can find ways to increase efficiency or add revenue to the business.

What's the most obvious AI automation that people should be doing today?

in the context of companies, we see a lot of just like copy-pasting of data.

Like you have data in Salesforce and you want to get it into an Excel sheet somewhere or you want to get it into some data lake or something like that.

And we see a lot of data entry work that is like just copy-pasting because they don't know how to write code, engineers are busy, IT is busy.

So just like anytime you find yourself copy pasting things from one place to another and you do it regularly, like it's an obvious automation.

Go to Repl.in, just say, go pull the data from Salesforce and put it in Snowflake, right?

So that's in the context of companies.

I think there's a lot of data movement that happens manually and that really blows my mind.
