A couple things.

A large number for startups can also be a very small number for a large corporation.

Yeah.

So you have that dynamic playing out.

I'll make up random stats, but you could probably take a meaningful engineering team and probably for the price of

five of those engineers or ten of those engineers, you could probably pay for cursor licenses for the entire engineering team.

So here's where the asterisk is.

There's an infinite set of ways.

This is why like you can never take a point in time snapshot on these kind of things.

There's an infinite set of ways that this actually plays out.

Next year's planning process, maybe in a perfectly like parallel universe, the salary increase that year would have been 3.5% for employees.

And this coming year it's 3% because we're gonna take 0.5% and we're gonna deploy AI for the company.

Or maybe next year we would have added 50 engineers, but we're gonna add 25 and then pay for AI.

But guess what?

The year after we're gonna have engineering productivity gains.

So there you go.

So it

later because we're getting higher productivity gains.

Yeah.

I think that most companies of any reasonable scale, post a hundred employees, let's say, have enough sort of dynamism in the financial model within a one to two year period where it doesn't look like what the economist would think it looks like.
