Headline: Replit CEO on AI breakthroughs: ‘We don’t care about professional coders anymore’

An excerpt:

«In essence, Replit’s latest customer base is a new breed of coder: The ones who don’t know the first thing about code.

“We don’t care about professional coders anymore,” Masad said.

[...]

Essentially, a very basic understanding of the way software works enables people to take advantage of AI tools that are growing ever more capable.

Masad says it really amounts to a return to the roots of the way computers were supposed to work. Before Windows, people would type in complex, arcane prompts into MS DOS. But only a small percentage of the population was going to adopt a technology that required learning an entirely new language.

DOS gave way to Windows, and mouse-clicking replaced prompts. AI allows computers to be prompted with natural language, instead of arcane commands. “I think we’re going to see this era of Windows and mice and desktops as totally cringe.”»

Apparently, Replit makes Replit Agent that can build apps using natural language input? Idk, haven't tried it, happy #cursor user.

I look forward to getting paid to clean up the messes built by AI #agents .

New Standard for Enterprise AI Data Integration 🌐

🔗 #Anthropic launches Model Context Protocol (#MCP), an #opensource standard enabling seamless connection between #AI systems and enterprise data sources

💻 Local MCP server support added to #Claude Desktop with pre-built connectors for #GitHub, #Slack, #GoogleDrive, #Git, and #Postgres

🤝 Early adopters #Block and #Apollo integrate MCP, while #Zed, #Replit, #Codeium, and #Sourcegraph enhance their development platforms

🛠️ Developers can start testing with existing #Claude for Work accounts, access pre-built MCP servers, and contribute to open-source repositories

🔄 Protocol eliminates need for separate connectors, allowing AI systems to maintain context across different tools and datasets

Wow #Replit is really taking a *hard* turn. Gotta download all my #code & cancel my account…

We’re reaching out to tell you about changes to your Starter plan.

What is changing?

- Number of Repls: The Starter plan is now limited to 3 Repls. Upgrade to Core for unlimited* Repls.
- Collaboration limits: 1 collaborator per Starter account, 3 for Core, and your entire org for Teams.
- Storage retention: Repls will be subject to deletion after 1 year of inactivity on the Starter plan.

Continued thread

Bit of a different stream tomorrow on IC_Null: code editors. #replit, #VSCode, #CodeSpaces, #codepen 😱 How is the #accessibility of these kinds of tools for #screenReader users? Where's the pain points? Why are they happening, and why are they pain points? Do these tools help this target audience be more productive, like they do for most, or not? Come see tomorrow at 4 PM EST, 10 PM CEST at twitch.tv/IC_Null #webDev #coding #programming #blind #selfPromo @NVAccess

TwitchIC_null - TwitchShaaaaaark on the wiiiiire! 🎵🎵 Is Wireshark accessible?

In a recent lesson, I ran #python code that posed a question asking for the total for a restaurant bill. I added the ($) sign and got an error back. Python does not have an operator for the $ sign. The decision came from the premise that it does not fit the standard arithmetic, assignment, or modulo operators. That's at least according to Perplexity.ai.

I am through lesson 12 of learning Python through the #replit 100-day course. Fun stuff.

I’m so totally a fan of the combination of #replit and #chatgpt for small development stuff. Took me a bit over an hour to create a nice little app for a holiday challenge for my son with client-side HTML/CSS/JS and a node.js persisting his progress on the Replit dB, and having it deployed to a productive URL. 99% of the code was generated by ChatGPT, 90% was correct without intervention from me. And ChatGPT is so good at creating responsive UIs with quite some CSS magic…

@bastianallgeier The problem is that stacking context is local and each layer is unaware of it's parent stacking context. Yet you want a 'global' z-index.

The crux is the dom hierarchy. One way to 'break out' would be to have all the elements you want to honor this global z-index to be in the same level of the dom, but you then have to deal with the inverse problem of the stacking contexts for all those siblings.

Without a more concrete example it's hard to offer a simple solution. Perhaps put an example of what you want to do in a #replit and share the link - folks could fork that and offer alternatives.

developer.mozilla.orgThe stacking context - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDNThe stacking context is a three-dimensional conceptualization of HTML elements along an imaginary z-axis relative to the user, who is assumed to be facing the viewport or the webpage. HTML elements occupy this space in priority order based on element attributes.

It is easy to dismiss ai as purely an exploitative tool that steals from folks who've worked hard to create things that seem now just to be ground up and regurgitated back.

This would be like dismissing a promising student who was only given old, outdated, and wrong books to read from.

I've had moments with Ghostwriter ( #replit ) and ChatGPT where I felt like it was really accelerating my own creativity and productivity in a new and significant way.

If we can find a way to keep that amazing tool but not poison it with unauthorized content or allow for some way for the original creators to get credit / compensation for their work, we could create a system where instead of trying to hide things from AI , we encourage it because it enriches everyone without exploiting the original author.

I don't know how this can be possible but there's got to be some way to use this new tool in a way that does not exploit the folks who have contributed to it's knowledge / experience. #ai #chatgpt #ghostwriter
