I mean, RPC versus a REST API, you got, gRPC I mean, you've got all sorts of things that are happening where you're now learning different things.

And that's the explosion happening is that your world, your world and my world as well, and hopefully our audience's world,

is now flattened in terms of, well, I can touch pretty much any piece of language or protocol or software as I'd like to because the AI is getting better enough to take me there, and I'm learning with it.

And hopefully you're not just simply one-shotting and praying, but you're more like iterating with it because I find the most –

Most fun I'm having building software is iterating with it, learning with it, and not like it's teaching me and I'm teaching it, but more like I'm just learning through the process of actually being a developer again, touching things I would have not touched a year ago, building things I wouldn't have even dreamed about, and learning along the way and iterating along the way, using iterating, using iterating.

That feedback loop for me is really just a one-person shop in that regard because a lot of my software is just –

Yeah, it's personal by me for the most part.

Yeah.

Yeah, and you can.

You really can.

And really thanks to open source.

I mean, we were – maybe you could speak to this given GitHub and Copilot.

There was a lot of outrage on the initial release of GitHub Copilot in that, oh, GitHub released this thing and it trained on all of our code.

Damn you, GitHub, and all this stuff.

But then open source is still here and still – I would say open source is thriving more than ever.

And there's this massive swing back to just simply open source and free and open tooling.

I mean Open Next is the example we just led with there.

I mean that's a good thing.

Well, not the cheap side of it, but until it's not worth sharing, where you want to protect your moat or build a moat.

I know you do.
