What's up everybody? This is Cortland from AndyHackers.com and you're listening to the

NDHackers podcast. More people than ever are building cool stuff online and making a lot of money

in the process. And on this show, I sit down with these endy hackers to discuss the ideas, the

opportunities, and the strategies they're taking advantage of, so the rest of us can do the same.

I'm here with Amjad Masad, founder of Replit.

Replit, one of my favorite companies, probably because I think a strategy is just so cool.

I'm very captivated by the strategy.

But for listeners, you don't know what REPLET is, maybe you can introduce them to your product.

Yeah, totally.

So Rupplet is an online programming environment, a collaborative environment, but also a community,

community of builders, community of learners,

a community of educators.

It's a sort of one-stop shop to go all the way from writing your first line of code, learning programming, to shipping something.

So we'll host it for you. We'll also give you primitives to build on top of.

We'll give you a database right in your IDE.

We'll give you off, give you pretty powerful compute infrastructure.

And our vision for this is that you at least initially should not worry about all the utter torture of setting up a development environment, maintaining the packages, maintaining the environment.

And we just want to make it really easy to get started, really easy to share with other people, really easy to collaborate with other people as well.

Yeah, it reminds me of like in a way, like video games.

Like I just started playing this game the other day called Hades.

And I don't play a lot of video games, but once I do, I just like get deep into it.

And like, if you get really good at this game, there are so many different options and configurations and different variables and different powers and power-ups and like a million different things. But the very first time you go through the game, all of that's turned off. And they just have you play through the level with the most basic stuff, and you don't have to see any of the complexity.
