Replit CEO Amjad Masad reveals how AI empowers non-coders to ship software fast and build wealth via ownership, debunking AI doomsday fears.

●	Observe problems around you to generate unique ideas tied to trends, then use AI to build MVPs in hours.

●	Lack of coding experience advantages entrepreneurs by prioritising customer needs, marketing, and revenue over syntax.

●	Build equity through startups or early equity in high-growth companies rather than salaries to escape the rat race.

"I think it's the easiest time to get rich in the history of capitalism, but certainly in the history of the internet." - Amjad Masad
