Its a business, not a charity. Just because they have money doesnt mean they should spend on people who arent contributing to the bottom line.
What information do you have that they weren't contributing to the bottom line?
There is no future for Replit considering how Anthropic, OpenAI and Google are moving into dev tools. And then there‘s Cursor and the likes. As an online IDE they would have had a chance. But when they pivoted into AI, they decided to enter a highly crowded place with very strong players. Recently OpenAI and now Anthropic are developing mobile clients as well: https://www.testingcatalog.com/anthropic-prepares-claude-…
I've used it for creating a template for an app. It usually creates a pretty accurate app with at least a basic UI and some interactions. The biggest issue is that once you've created the template, it's pretty tough to add some more complicated features using the AI.
This has been my experience also. You gotta give it detailed instructions for everything at the start. You can't just build as you go, because every time it adds something it breaks something else.

Depends from country to country. I live in India so I can chip in on the situation I suppose and give my/(India's?) perspective on this. So firstly, it would depend if they are doing remote-job/offshoring directly to a dev or if they are contacting a consultancy instead. A consultancy can seriously bloat the amount of cost but usually non tech are the ones going to a consultancy but in a consultancy very few (like 5%…
You can get to 70k USD in India?? That’s approaching European salaries for a Senior Dev. Lots of Indians seem to come to Europe for far lower salaries.
I can only speak for my brother's company in that sense that if he works there for many years, their chain of ranking would make him a partner in the company (sort of like how layer firms get) and then he would get a flat huge commission on every project he takes and there are some 10 lakhs inr or 12 grand usd as an example and so like it isn't hard to get some really juicy money later down the pipeline.
Though like what I am saying 70k is for like genuinely the most top like 0.0001% or almost never unless for the extremely top official with shit ton of experience like 10-15-20 years
On the other hand, its rather comparatively easy to take a remote job from US and do it from india to get the same 70k which I have seen a hella lot more people do/ is the more practical approach for many.
I don't know but internally speaking 12 grand a year and even 60 grand seems small but its shit boat ton of money but still my mind compared it to the 120k salary guys of the beautiful united states and maybe that's why I overinflated some numbers.
if you have any questions, feel free to ask, I can uh refer to you to my brother if you have any doubts since I am currently in high school.

Ehh. I don’t love it and it isn’t good optics, but if you can’t find a way to utilize your employeees (such as having a hard time finding a maeket fit for an existing product) then it isn’t your moral obligation to keep paying them. It isn’t clear what employees were laid off ir for what reason either.
The original sin was probably hiring those people for a not-yet-clear business in the first place…

I've never used replit but I'm curious what types of choices the app makes when building. Like how does it decide on the architecture, backend language, frontend framework, etc? Even if the non-technical user is unaware of the tech choices being made, the AI still has to make such decisions. How does it decide?
When I hear Replit, I remember how the CEO tried to kill an intern's pet project. https://intuitiveexplanations.com/tech/replit/

Obviously, I love the likes of Tailscale for embracing and supporting this behaviour - but that’s super exceptional (because they’re a strong team).

To play devil’s advocate - where do you draw the line? They say they’re not going to push further into competing, but what if they did? I don’t know enough about either platform to really comment on how much of a big it is / how much they crossover. I do feel that it shows somewhat bad judgement on behalf of the intern to build something in exactly the same space as a former employer. One of the great things about so…
