Wow it's actually a verbatim quote:
> In essence, Replit’s latest customer base is a new breed of coder: The ones who don’t know the first thing about code.
> “We don’t care about professional coders anymore,” Masad said.
> Instead, he says it’s time for non-coders to begin learning how to use AI tools to build software themselves. He is credited with a concept known as “Amjad’s Law” that says the return on learning some code doubles every six months.
- hnthrow90348765 2y agoThese business types only learning enough to prompt an AI will eventually get tired of prodding the AI to fix things, unless Masad here is also selling an AI that will monitor and maintain your infrastructure for you too. They don't even have the patience to listen to developers talk about technical issues in meetings today, they're definitely not cut out for app maintenance work when the technical details start to matter. He is doing the smart thing and selling shovels though, and this statement is part of that sell.
- darth_avocado 2y agoJust a random end of the month $10000000 AWS bill will be enough for the shake the faith in AI writing code.
- earnestinger 2y ago> Instead, he says it’s time for non-coders to begin learning how to use AI tools Seems reasonable that more people will be able to utilise programability of computers. People who already created elaborate spreadsheet’s with formulas, now might start also using python/java/go for their benefit. (Eg. Accountant, might start helping with the accounting system maintenance)
