The 10-year patience play is what gets me here: building for 15-year-olds in Lagos and Jakarta in 2017 looks bonkers until you realise that 63% of vibe coding users today are non-developers, which is exactly the buyer Replit spent a decade cultivating before anyone else knew the category existed. The part about publicly declaring "we don't care about professional coders anymore" is underrated too: clearing the roadmap in the open is a genuinely bold call that most leadership teams would fudge into a quiet deprioritisation. What do you think is harder to replicate, the 10-year horizon or the willingness to publicly burn the bridge?
this is a masterclass in patient distribution.
totally, and vision / courage in product trade-off decisions.
