“There's this thing called Replit or Bolt, where you can just go and describe an app you want to build and the agent will build and deploy it for you. And I think that's where things are heading to. Bolt, B-O-L-T or Replit, R-E-P-L-I-T. And sure, it's not going to work perfectly. But I feel like this is where things are headed, where I can just, you don't have to be a software engineer anymore to build an app.”
