And so across Anthropic, I think the average is something like 90% quad code or something like that.

Yeah, there's still a few pockets.

One classic example is configuration files where it's a two-character change or something, and it's faster to just make it yourself.

But honestly, I think this is going to go away really fast.

We're starting to see this with our customers also.

At the beginning when we started Quad-code, it was really hard to explain to anyone what is this thing.

But now everyone uses it.

Like I do this talk for Y Combinator Batches, you know, the startup incubator in Silicon Valley.

And when I first started doing the talks, I asked everyone, like, please raise your hand if you use quad code.

And there's like a few hands that went up.

At some point, I did these talks and just every hand goes up.

And so I stopped asking this.

Now the question that I ask is, who writes 100% of their code using quad code?

And the first time I asked this, maybe a quarter of their hands went up.

Now it's a little more than half.

And I bet the next time I ask, it's going to be everyone.

And, you know, like our customers range in size, like, you know, like there's like Airbnb and, and ramp.

And then also like the biggest companies, there's like Salesforce and Deloitte and Accenture, like all these like very big companies also use quad code.

And they're seeing the same thing.

A bigger and bigger percent of the code is being written by quad code.
