I mean he went from –

Coming back from retirement, solving his own problem, releasing it for others, having a great product direction with it, and working his absolute tail off on it to now being called a genius by Sam Altman and working for OpenAI to keep building OpenClaw in the open.

And there could be positives and negatives to that because there always is.

But he went from peer to transcendent now.

I mean, he's still talking to the world.

I'm not going to say he's not, but he's definitely a busy person now.

And I think he's got some really good taste, which I think is really important in this next era is taste in software.

You can't just come, like you said before, to a boot camp thinking that software developers make a lot of money.

Therefore, I make software so I can make a lot of money.

I think if you are a developer that's been seasoned quite a bit, maybe you haven't dabbled in everything that you possibly could have, but you've been aware.
