I sit down with Matt Palmer, Head of Developer Relations at Replit, to dive into how AI is transforming the way we build software. Matt shares how we’ve gone from basic autocomplete to fully functional apps, and how Replit’s AI agent is empowering both new and experienced developers to build faster than ever.
We talk about “vibe coding,” using AI as a creative partner, how to ship software safely, and why the developer experience matters more than ever. Matt also breaks down how video content is changing the way we learn to code and shares his thoughts on where AI is making the biggest impact across industries.
Whether you're a seasoned dev, a curious beginner, or just someone who wants to build cool things with AI—this episode is packed with insights, tips, and inspiration.
