Let's say we want that.

That's what we should be.

But this isn't them trying to prop it up.

Replit is a major player out there and in use widely.

Replit as a platform was already in use widely before it became a vibe coding platform because of its ability to deploy.

Replit was a deployment platform before it became an AI with deployment platform.

And now they're partnering with Google Cloud so that Google Cloud and all of their services

including Firebase and other elements that are important to an application development.

So those will all be more accessible, more readily accessible to teams in enterprise that are using Replit to do vibe coding.

And what's happening in enterprise with vibe coding is that it goes beyond the core engineers using Replit.

you know, doing application development so that now product teams like a product manager can build using Replit and then deploy it internally.

And now in the partnership with Google Cloud, all of that will happen fairly seamlessly and they can do, you know, Firebase integration, I'm sure will be a key part of that, you know, when you choose to use Replit in concert with Google Cloud.

So anyway, I thought that was interesting and Replit is definitely a,
