Computers have the potential to greatly impact humanity, but most people only use them as consumers rather than creators. This imbalance is similar to the literacy crisis before the printing press, where only the powerful had access to books and written communication. The invention of the printing press led to democratic, scientific, and industrial revolutions. Replit aims to bring coding to the masses, enabling more people to create and generate wealth on the internet, regardless of their personal circumstances. By pushing towards this goal, Replit aspires to have a positive impact on humanity's happiness. To achieve this mission, Replit encourages its team members to be radical, take ownership of their work, and prioritize action over excuses. The company uses a Read-Eval-Print loop process to build products, seeking pain and embracing challenges. Replit values diversity, inclusivity, and kindness, welcoming people from all backgrounds to contribute to the ecosystem. By focusing on talent and hard work, rather than fancy college degrees or resumes, Replit aims to build the most talented team in the world.
