Eventually you to start with, you force the tool to fit what you're already doing.
And then over time you change in order to fit your what the way you work in order to fit the new thing.
Um and we're still at that beginning of like forcing it to do deterministic to forcing it to be a deterministic system, which of course it isn't.
I think there's a degree of kind of bubbly thinking.
Not just in the for sense of like a speculative bubble, but also the sense of like if everybody you know is in this all the time and this is all anybody's talking about.
The only people who are saying, Wait, that doesn't work are the people who don't get it.
You thought it was a problem that crypto had.
There are all these people who just didn't understand the technology at all.
And so their tot their technology their their criticism of it was the wrong criticism.
Yeah, yeah, that's that's a that's an interesting point.
But like the the the challenge in a sense is there's a sort of Empress New Clothes problem.
In the but it's not that's the wrong analogy because the emperor isn't naked.
But the point is uh you've got people who are saying this is all bullshit, none of it works, it's completely useless, which is just really a stupid thing to say.
There are hundreds and hundreds of companies who've already got this in production doing stuff that's really useful where it works, where you understand what it is.
Um, so this is just objectively wrong to say that it's useless.
It's already not like and not in the way that like crypto, like we're still waiting for use cases.
This is in deployment in thousands of companies from hundreds of c pieces of software.
Right now, it's already being used and it's really useful.
But at the same time it's not good at everything.
And there's a bunch of stuff that it really can't do yet.
