I don't suffer from that particular nostalgia, not having had a Nintendo console (C64/Amiga diehard here), but I bought Wii and Switch, and a couple of first-party games for each. I considered, and passed on, the other consoles. N

Learning and wanting to use as a daily driver are very different things. I use vim on my servers and for writing git commit messages. For everything else, I use another editor (used to be Sublime Text, then Vs code, now Zed).

Yes, they pivoted hard from playground to AI codegen. It was an interesting service, but I guess AI pays better.

For context, he's describing a pivot from professional developers to "citizen developers", ie. non-devs. He's not saying there is no need for professional coders, just that they're not the core market for Replit.

I use the agent panel in my editor of choice (Zed). For each task I always start with a new (empty) context and manually tag relevant files to include (this is trivial since I know the codebase well). First I use Claude 4 Sonnet in thinking
