A look at everything going on in the world of Replit.

April 17, 2025

That’s how Replit’s Matt describes putting stuff on the internet… which we’re all doing a lot more now, thanks to vibe coding.

But it doesn’t always go well.

The good thing about Replit is that it handles the environment build when you create a project, which checks off all the low-security fruit.

And the stuff it doesn’t handle out of the box - you can ask Agent to do.

Test and Commit or Revert

That’s Matt’s vibe coding strategy adapted from this blog post. It’s a solid defence against going round in circles with Agent, which happens to the best of us.

test && commit || revert

As part of Limbo on the Cheap, we invented a new programming workflow. I introduced “test && commit”, where every time the tests run…

Who’s building what?

I always keep an eye on X to see what people are building with Replit.

This week, Amjad demoed the solve your own problems capabilities of Agent by building a YouTube video downloader.

It’s not hosted, but you can use the remix feature to create your own version.

I also think this is cool. And a great example of how much better Agent has got at design.

Meanwhile, Reid Hoffman is about to slash his engineering bill.

Finally, don’t drive and code! (get Agent do it for you)
