Replit isn't for building HA/mutli-tenant stateless, web applications with hot-hot failover, data redundancy, perfect docs and APIs

It's for people who want to learn how to code or want to prototype something absolutely as quickly as possible with the minimal amount of tooling and experience.

For sure. I'm just personally not sure that's a billion-dollar company idea myself, which if you've taken $100 million+ of funding, it will need to be. Definitely willing to eat my words though if they pull it off: anything that gets more people into programming and understanding how the devices they use work is a good thing in my opinion (which is worth about as much as you just paid for it!)

Funding goes to companies that will pass on a part or all of that funding on to partners. It is like a big wash that goes round and round until the right people get rich. And the reason for this is to make the world a better place
