And we've always had this distinction.
There's feature, product, company, but it's a little bit confusing figuring out which one is which right now.
just because the ability to create a feature and create a product and even get all of the data, my favorite saying, the best companies have hostages, not customers, like even get some of the data out of the hostage company.
So it's a very, very confusing world in terms of figuring out which one is, which is kind of maybe a good segue to venture capital land of how do you think, I mean, when you started this firm in 2009, big financial crisis, actually very, very big financial crisis, global financial crisis going on, the biggest.
The world has changed a lot since then.
I mean, how much of what's happening today kind of fits within the mental model of back then and how much is kind of Brave New World?

So right now there are computers that show up with no RAM.

Because yeah, they could build a new factory or you and I could decide to go build a DRAM factory.
That would take us five years.
So how do you, I mean, and we don't believe-
You got to start now.
But this is actually, if you remember, which you obviously do, 1999, it's like, well, we have to build more fiber, right?
We have to build more capacity.
