Into the image. And you know what? I know that I'm going to throw out my shoulder, patting myself on the back on this. But looking back on our year of images, we had some good images.

And... What will surprise maybe everyone except for you, Brian, is how much self-doubt I had over the concept. I went back and looked at our chat messages. Oh, yeah. If you go back and look at our chat messages, you probably were in a meeting and I was like, hey, I have an idea, which is here's kind of the idea of it. And you're like, that's a neat idea. Or you could just use the XZ image.

And I don't know whether this was like you thinking about... Oh, I'm so sorry. No, no, no. I don't know whether this was like you thinking, well, this is not going to work. Like, let me save you some time. Or you thinking, you know, you do technically like have a job and this isn't particularly it. So maybe you could do that instead.

Coming out of his interview with Kevin Roos of the New York Times, you were able to score this great interview. So awesome to get Andres on the show. And of course, what comes to mind is this XKCD image of the stacked up blocks with an arrow pointing to a part maintained by a thankless Nebraskan or whatever for decades.
