Not Boring Founders: Amjad Masad, Replit May 25, 2022

Show notes

Amjad Masad is the co-founder and CEO of Replit. Replit's mission is to bring the next billion software creators online. The company believes that the ability to write code should be as ubiquitous as the ability to write essays -- and it wants to be the first place that anyone writes a line of code.

In this wide-ranging, long-form conversation Amjad tells us of his roots in Jordan, how he first started making money with software, and why he think's there is still alpha in being authentic. His story is central to the story of Replit.

In Packy's Deep Dive on Replit in December of 2021, he called that "Replit will be a $100B company" and after listening to today's conversation with Amjad, it's hard to not at least root for that.

Newton's Alchemy May 16, 2022

Show notes

Isaac Newton's lifelong pursuit of alchemy may surprise you. Newton is the father of science and one of the most rational thinkers in history, but he also dedicated enormous amounts of time and energy to the now discredited field of alchemy. Yet, without alchemy we do not have chemistry. Many of the key problems and methods posed by alchemy would lead to the development of chemistry.

We see this repeatedly throughout history. Seemingly frivolous or unproductive experimentation ultimately leading to major breakthroughs.

Packy explores this historical trend in the context of our current markets and offers an optimistic view of where the last decade of seemingly frivolous experimentation and resourcing may take us in the future.
