Replit's CEO on Vibe Coding, Wealth Building, and What Most People Get Wrong About AI

Replit's CEO on Vibe Coding, Wealth Building, and What Most People Get Wrong About AI

Jack Neel speaks with Amjad Masad, CEO at Replit, about how AI is making it easier than ever to build and ship software without a technical background. They discuss Replit's rise from a browser-based coding tool to a platform generating $250 million in annual revenue, why Masad turned down a $1 billion acquisition offer, and his case for why AI represents empowerment rather than existential risk. This episode originally aired on The Jack Neel Podcast.
