And the other thing, I'd love your take on this since I know you're big in meditation and sort of self-awareness is it feels like this technology is a tool to explore our emotional, spiritual self in a way that no technology ever has been.

Like the fact that you can talk to it like a human and you can explore things and you can get into flow state when you're programming.

It has all of these attributes that are just so different from, you know, spreadsheets and word processors and even the creative tools of the past, which are very point and click.

I don't know, like maybe it's barbell, you know, so maybe you spend these really productive, satisfying, fulfilling time on your computer.

All the meetings, you don't go to meetings, your agent goes to meetings for you, right?
