We have 34 million users globally. There's people everywhere learning to code on Replit, building startups, building personal software, personal tools. Lenny Rachitsky (00:00:20): For people building products, say, product managers, founders, what skills do you see will matter more, matter less? Amjad Masad (00:00:27): Typically, you're bottlenecked where your ideas are not fitting in because they need to be made and they need to be made quickly. Now, you open up that bottleneck.

But I feel like very few people have actually seen what modern AI tools can do and have fully grasped how much you can get done with very little technical skill now and in the future. And so I'm going to do an experiment with this podcast where I'm going to do a series of behind the product episodes where we go deep on important products that product builders should be aware of...
