The a16z Show · Replit's CEO on Vibe Coding, Wealth Building, and What Most People Get Wrong About AI · 15 Apr 2026 podcast

But there are a lot of new builders coming up today, and they're like, I'm going to just, like, make things with Replit or tools like that, and I'm going to go just a lot faster.

I'm going to iterate faster, make better ideas, build better companies and systems.

So...

I would reemphasize this virtue of laziness.

Like, I think a lot of what we're taught in school is it's not worth it.

It's not worth our time.

And my approach to school was like, how do you get around it?

Like, I needed a college education to get to the United States.

Otherwise, I would have dropped out.

If I was in the U.S., I would have dropped out.

And it's probably a good idea for a lot of people to drop out and not go to college.

And so, but I needed to do that in order to get a visa to get here, right?

And...

So think about your circumstances and think about ways around them.

And there's probably ways in which AI could help you get there faster and do things better.

And realize that if you truly understand how this technology works, if you're up to speed on it, if you can do things faster,

Better and faster than other people, you have an advantage.

And just lean into that.
