BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
Amjad Masad and Haya Odeh, cofounders of Replit, join South Park Commons Partners Aditya Agarwal and Ruchi Sanghvi to share what it really took to build one of AI’s most important platforms, and how it’s now enabling a new wave of million-dollar founders.
Amjad breaks down why traditional ideas like ICP are breaking down in the age of AI, what’s actually changing under the hood of modern models, and why we may be reaching the limits of prompting. Haya shares the origin of “Seek Pain”—Replit’s most counterintuitive cultural principle—and how a relentless focus on what’s not working drives better products, faster learning, and stronger teams.
