The future is about actually doing stuff

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

April 30, 2025

I’m not convinced that someone is going to launch a vibe-coded billion-dollar business any time soon - but I’m certain we’re going to see a bunch of industry incumbents KOed by small-team competitors.

In an era where you can build anything, knowing what’s worth building is the bigger problem.

Shipping something real

Most complaints I hear about Replit and other AI tools are that they can’t handle production-ready apps.

Skill issue… watch Greg Isenberg, Billy Howell, and Nic Conley spend an hour building ‘Invoice Nudger’ (the $30k/m bit is bait though tbh…)

You can also take a bit longer if you want.

And, remember the “if all I had was $50…” tweet from last time? Here’s the followup interview with Justin Brooke.

Following the rules

It might feel like vibe coding is about winging it, but actually there’s some skill involved. Matt breaks it down.

But if you do mess it up…

… Replit has you covered with rollbacks. A handy feature I don’t see in some of the other builders.

Replit support steps up

I hear people saying that Replit support can be slow, which isn’t great, but it seems on X at least, they’re locking in.

Learn how to make AI work for you

AI won’t take your job, but a person using AI might. That’s why 1,000,000+ professionals read The Rundown AI – the free newsletter that keeps you updated on the latest AI news and teaches you how to use it in just 5 minutes a day.

Replit Auth comes out of beta

Agent still isn’t good at doing auth/login integration for other providers, so it’s pretty handy that Replit has its own option.

Just note that it signs people up for a (free) Replit account when they use it.

And database environments are incoming

About time!

Pocketathon anyone?

You don’t even need to bring your laptop these days… no excuses!
